They mean non-church going Catholics are torn.

It says she goes to mass every week. I have run into weekly mass attenders who have the same attitude about gay marriage, priests married, abortion, and etc. I am the opposite. I do not go to mass every week (and yes I feel guilty) but believe in the catechism of the church on nearly every issue.

Wow, that was me for a long time! One of these days it'll hit you (Holy Spirit) and you'll be wanting to go every week for the Eucharist. Surprised the heck out of me when it happened to me.

Is your local parish kind of dodgy?

I know daily Mass-goers who believe abortion should be legal and women should be ordained priests.

Right. In Albany--one of the most notoriously anti-Catholic Catholic dioceses in the nation. This is the same diocese where Bishop Hubbard was accused of sexual molestation and he not only refused to resign, but as the accusations were coming out, a priest who had written a letter to Cardinal O'Connor in the 1990s cataloging the activites of Hubbard and other homosexual priests in the Albany diocese "committed suicide" after a meeting with Hubbard.

The good bishop then called in Clinton-fixer Mary Jo White-wash to "investigate"--charging the diocese $700 per hour so she could completely clear Hubbard of any wrongdoing, of course.

The whole Albany diocese is a complete disaster. It's got a critical priest shortage, and of those who remain, most of them are homos apparently. Thus, it's no surprise at all that an article like this comes out of Albany.
