So, then, would a Catholic vote for Hillary and then go to confession for doing it? Isn't supporting lying and abortion considered sinful anymore by the Catholic church?

More abortions are committed under Republican administrations. Less abortions under democratic ones. You know why ? Republicans offer no help to mothers in a hard situation so they abort. Democratics offer health and financial programs that make having a child possible. They also advocate for equal pay for woman. If you do that you get less abortions. Catholics get that.Also birth control prevents abortions and Republicans make it hard in their policies.
I think this has less to do with religion itself than it does with other overlapping demographic issues. Hispanics make up a growing % of the Catholic vote. Among white voters, Trump has lost ground (compared to other previous GOP candidates) among whites with a college education. Whites in the mid-Atlantic and northeast tend to have higher levels of education than other parts of the country and whites in the mid-Atlantic and northeast also happen to be more Catholic than whites in other parts of the country.
So for the most part I don't think Trump's Catholic problem is completely tied to religion by a side effect of the Catholic population becoming more Hispanic, how poorly he is doing among Hispanics and his problem with college educated white voters which probably lean a bit more Catholic than whites without a college education.
Hispanics could explain part of the shift but not a 27% advantage.
