This doesn't seem terribly surprising given the church's position on hot-button issues like abortion. But it's also worth noting that registering as a republican doesn't mean you've voted for every republican on the ticket (and vice versa).

I'm also a registered Republican despite bleeding blue so I can steer the primaries toward more Moderate Republican candidates.
