2. When Kennedy was the first Catholic Prez candidate
Catholics were falling over themselves to vote for him. Abortion and the Pedophilia problem has taken them into a defensive posture toward the safe harbor of Conservatism (?) where they once were true Jesus Liberals.
4. Catholics were traditionally Democratic voters until Reagan
My dad didn't like Carter's religiousness, so ended up voting Anderson in 1980. But, plenty of Catholics were traditionally Democrats for decades - Boston is still full of Irish Catholic Democrats.
