It's something I have opined about earlier, and here are two most exceptional articles relating to that matter. Go ahead read them, you will love it.
(Then read these half Catholic half Jewish too smart for their own good types.)
Just so you know, I am a Catholic, have no doubt. (We have two mafias. Beat that Protestants!)

After doing some research, I really shouldn't have.
Catholicvote.net (...yes, it does exist) did some polling research that can be found here Link .
Specifically, I'm interested in this Link document, page 2 - the presidential politics of Catholics.
It only goes up to 2000, but it says a lot, and I'm fairly sure that not much of the Catholic vote changed in 2004.
In 2000, it says, 49% of Catholics voted for Gore, and 47% voted for Bush (Nader got 2%!). This is compared to 1996, where 53% voted for Clinton, and only 37% voted for Dole (Perot got 9%).
So, the Catholic percentage voting "D" is going down, but definitely not gone entirely. In fact, I'm pretty sure that in 2004 the statistic is a flip-flop of 2000 (ironic, yes?), putting 49% of Catholics for Bush and 47% for Kerry (or something like that).
