Well, there ya go. It's in print, on charts and on the internet so by gum it must be true.
No wonder Western Civilization is committing suicide: it's being given razor blades by the media.

It is also in the voting.
The democrats almost always gets the support of the majority of Catholic voters, and they never get the vote of the majority of Protestant voters.

"A double minded person is unstable in all his ways".
Homosexuality is s sin.. but gay priests are fine.. if the are "practicing" or having sex with the altar boys we will see it is covered up and the 'priest " "reassigned
Divorce is a sin..BUT we will have a "discussion" with god and determine if you were ever really married" hows that ??

In all but one of the 14 GSS polls over the last quarter century, more Catholics than Protestants said divorce should be easier to get by law. In every survey since 1973, more Catholics than Protestants said gays should be allowed to speak publicly, teach and have books they wrote available in libraries. (If those questions dont sound like they go very far by todays standards, keep in mind that the Vatican isnt going all that far, either, and that when these questions were asked in 1973, more than a third of Americans didnt agree half, in the case of teaching.) Also in each survey, more Catholics than Protestants said gay sex was not wrong at all. And all four times the GSS asked whether a couple living together unmarried was acceptable, more Catholics than Protestants said it was.Maybe Catholics should try giving up liberalism for Lent!

Indeed.
Then again there should have been an Evangelical break down.
If some on FR are to be believed there should have been 80,000 different surveys of Protestants. LOL.

Could Lent be moved to October and November, then?

Liberals should not be allowed to hide behind the term “progressive” when they are anything but. The so called “progressives” keep insisting on using the failed policies of the past, how is that “progressive”?

These are some strange and loaded questions.
For example, "Is divorce morally permissible?"
Depends. In some cases, separation may be morally *required* (e.g., husband sexually abuses children), and divorce may be practically required in order to force the husband to support his kids. So, yeah, in cases like that, divorce may be morally permissible.
Divorce *and remarriage* is not morally permissible if the first marriage is valid and the second marriage is not sexually continent, but the pollster didn't ask that question.
That's Catholic teaching at least. One should *expect* Catholics to agree with Catholic teaching, not some pollster's confused caricature of it. (Not to imply that those expectations will be met, mind you.)
Who here really thinks that a homosexual person should be prohibited from teaching, e.g., chemistry, physics, math, or any other topic not related to sexual morality at the university level, provided that he's a professional at what he does, and does not attempt to proselytize?
Obviously at least in America today, you will be subject to legal action if you attempt to act on that conviction in your hiring decisions.

Get rid of the liberal Catholics and the ones left still dwarf any protestant faith. LOL.
