Right.... they didn’t ask me!
The founders warned us about foreign nation based religions.
The survey did not distinguish real Catholics from CINOs.
Does anyone expect anything different from our friends in California?
Do the Missionaries take a position?
So, I wonder how those polled feel about perpetually re-electing officials who are “catholic” baby-killers?
I don’t believe this poll....not one bit....
It would be scary, if true. I’m guessing it is not even close.
WTF ?
Believe me, who call themselves Catholic and who are adherents to the true Catholic Faith are vastly different groups of people. As an example someone I knew lonnnng ago told me she was Catholic but argued that the Holy Eucharist was a symbol of Christ and nothing more. I recently connected with her on Facebook after many years and she is still listing herself as Catholic (and probably telling survey-takers she's Catholic as well).
Wait. Homosexuals have their own Union now?
What are the dues? Do they have Card Check? How’s the pension situation? Inquiring minds want to know.
37% of white Catholics and 44% of Latino Catholics support same-sex marriage, while an additional 41% of white Catholics and 28% of Latino Catholics support homosexual civil unions.
They must be refering to pseudo-catholics.
they aren’t Catholic, they are Catheter’s
With bishops like Mahoney, they never hear the truth from the pulpit. All they get is “Let’s all be nice.” The American bishops are a disgrace.
They keep leaving the Almighty out of the survey! I guess His words dont count anyway in liberal world!
“A survey of over 3,000 Californians conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute in June has found that Catholics strongly support the legal recognition of homosexual unions.”
Not knowing anything about the respondent selection process (who were the 3,000 and how were they selected), the demographic composition (gender, race, religion, ethnicity, income), and factors of behavioral attributes such as “church attendance”, and manner others, that had to be present in the dataset of the survey - whether asked or not - there is no way of knowing how scientific it is, or not, to apply any of the survey results to the broader California population. Because there is no way of knowing how representative the survey’s 3,000 respondents are to that population.
So, what is the agenda of those who did the survey? That might tell you how much science might or might not be in the selection of the 3,000.
Are CA Catholics part of the church headquartered in the Vatican?
That was always the problem growing up Catholic. The bible was always on the back burner. You only heard what the church wanted you to hear if it fit their needs.
Interesting poll. As a Californian and a practicing Catholic, I say this poll is garbage. Prop 8, which was a constitutional amendment that forbade the state to recognize homosexual and lesbian marriages passed nearly 2 years ago. This state is over 25% Catholic. That prop never would have passed without majority Catholic support.
I have lots of friends at our parish. I do not know of one who wants homosexual and lesbian marriages recognized.
If you do a little googling on the outfit which did this poll it's an eye opener. The founder is affiliated with the extreme liberal, "People for the American Way", and many other left wing outfits. This is a classic "push-poll". Have any of the Catholics out there ever heard of this "Catholic- culture.org who published the story? Is it affiliated with the church in any way or is it just another bunch of liberals calling themselves Catholic?
