"Most" Catholics voted for Obama, if you take a simple majority to be "most", but it was a pretty slight majority. Please note, there are a lot more Catholics in this country than there are Mormons. Even a minority of the Catholic population would be enough to make a real difference, if they were willing to exert themselves.

Not saying that you're wrong, but it's sad to hear it. I would think, though, that lots of people would take heart from California's example. If there were ever a state that <i>didn't</i> seem likely to take a stand on this issue... It’s a shame that so many think Oregon Catholics too wimpy to put up a fight like this.

There are 3 types of catholics, the liberal catholic who is catholic only in name. the second type is the Sunday catholic who knows bits and pieces of church teaching but will not take a stand on anything because he prefers 'peace' and does not see how these issues affect him and then lastly the true catholic who will fight every fight till the bitter end. In the morning prayer yesterday, one of the antiphons was 'The world will hate you but do not fear I have conquered the world' I suspect that there are many catholics in name only who will vote for such measures to pass.

This is one of the most liberal states around. Most of the Catholics here are progressive types who I like to call the neo-protestant catholics. Hunthausen, do I need to say more?

I only wish Catholics in the Northeast were a bit more active, since they've allowed, often abetted, homosexual "marriage" to be introduced all about. Yes, God bless those Knights of Columbus!
