Same as any other church. It depends on the person. Do me a favor - PLEASE - don't follow what everyone else does, make your political outlook on your own thoughts. I know to many people that follow the political party that their family or friends or race or income level follow. Watch the debates, listen to conservative and liberal discussions, watch the debates, and make your own choice.

The Catholic Church is pro-life in the widest sense. This is often called a "Consistent Ethic of Life."
This pro-life stance stresses the highest regard for dignity of human life including that of:
- All people in objecting to unjust war and nuclear arms. (closer to Democratic platform)
- The unborn in objecting to to abortion, in fitro fertilization, frozen embryos, embryonic stem cell research, and cloning (closer to Republican platform)
- The elderly, sick and dying in objecting to assisted suicide and euthanazia (not sure about this)
- Prisoners in objecting to the death penalty (closer to Democratic platform)
- The poor and minorities in supporting social justice issues. (closer to Democratic platform)
Some Catholics are enthusiastically anti-abortion and align themselves with the Republican party.
When you look at the big picture, the Democratic party supports more "Catholic" issues so some Catholics are Democrats.
Neither party follows all Catholic teachings.
With love in Christ.
