All the further I had to read to see the bias.

That is rather desperate, but typical of RCs faced with evidence that impugns Rome, and the fact is that there the NC reporter was only referenced once among the multitude of surveys that testifies to what the Vatican's own poll (http://www.patheos.com/blogs/deaconsbench/2013/11/vatican-releases-full-text-of-document-and-survey-questions-for-2014-synod-of-bishops-on-the-family) is evidencing.
And which you likely know was the subject of a caucus thread (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/3123469/posts) (to keep us out of it) which said,
Before the Vatican ACTUALLY did its OWN poll, they would blow off every poll and survey that came down the pike.
They had to – really. To even acknowledge or lend any credence whatsoever to the results of past surveys would be to admit that there has been a never before in the life of the Church anything like it collapse of the faith.
That would immediately necessitate a conversation of how this happened, which would lead directly back to the bishops...Every excuse in the books – anything to deny, lie or refuse to comply with the truth.
Well, they can’t do that ANY MORE. These are the Vatican’s OWN OFFICIAL numbers – and they show – heck in some cases – results EVEN WORSE than originally thought...
So consider the whole picture. On the one hand, we have an official Church survey PROVING what we have long known – global apostasy as John Paul termed it.
And then we have prominent Church leaders who couldn’t care less and who come out and say it publicly. They are more concerned with the press ASKING about IT then they are with the actual IT.
Nothing new here. This is what RCs keep denying when i provide the evidence: /RC-Stats_vs._Evang
