Let him poll my group--traditional Catholics--and see what the divorce rate is. If it's over 10%, I'll be utterly shocked. Among my immediate family and friends, I didn't know anyone who was divorced until I was in my teens. And then it was invariably the people who took the Faith the least seriously--if at all.

Until I was in my 20s the only people I knew that were divorced were Catholics.....and I was raised Catholic. Until I was in my 20s I lived in NYC and primarily only knew Catholics.......20+ years later, the divorce rate among the Catholics I now know is far above 10%.........heck, of my graduating class from an all girl Catholic High School more that 50% of us had been divorced at least once or only recently married at our 20th class reunion.

Most sources seem to agree that divorce among American, emphasis on American, Catholics is between 20% and 25%.
