Over at Pontifications, I take a look at the latest numbers from both the voluminous Pew "Religious Landscape Survey" and the lesser-noted survey from Georgetown's CARA institute and the conclusion seems inescapable: The GOP is losing the Catholic vote by a huge margin, from near parity in 2004 to a 15 percent (or higher differential) for the Dems today. War (and no peace), tax policies, and no traction on abortion and gay marriage explain some ofthe falloff.
