far and away the biggest donor for the opposition was the "Coalition" which was an organization comprised of many different interests.

And in looking closely at this initiative, it was really problematic in a number of ways from a medical perspective. While I generally support the right to die, this particular proposal appears to have had a lot of reasonable people voicing reasonable opposition to it (including Martin Sheen, FWIW).

I don't doubt that there were catholic groups opposed to this, I just don't think it's a very good example of your initial premise.

Prop 8, on the other hand, is a good example.
