A majority of Catholics want the Church to reconsider its teaching on LGBT issues, a new poll launched in Rome yesterday has revealed.
A total of 9,606 people were surveyed across Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, United States, Philippines, France, Italy and Spain for the poll, representing half of the world's Catholic population.
The survey was carried out by Yougov on behalf of Equal Future 2018, a coalition of LGBT, progressive Catholic religious, children and young peoples' groups.
Campaign director Tiernan Brady, who led the marriage equality campaign in Ireland in 2015, launched the findings in Rome. He described the survey findings as "a clarion call to the hierarchy of the Catholic Church from its members that it is time to change their approach to LGBT people" which is "damaging to children and young people".
Highlighting how ordinary people in the pews "are leading the way on LGBT issues", he said it was "time the upper management caught up with their flock".

I’m all for burning sodomites at the stake - including the abusive assholes in the Church hierarchy - all the way up to Franky. No problem with offing these twisted bastards.
Yeah.my Catholic brothers and sisters do that.
It’s not a democracy
Ijuts
To use an Irish phrase
“... a coalition of LGBT, progressive Catholic religious,...”
Given that this is who had the survey done, I’m surprised it was only “a majority”, not “unanimous”.
The Catholic Church now has no excuse not to change.
The Church must remember that homosexuals are doing something that is wrong. That is step no. one. Next they must remove all the queer priests from the priesthood. Then they must stop receiving queer men into the seminaries. They must stop listening to people like Father Martin about accepting homosexuals. The Church must revert to its original stance that these people are wrong.
So? Is Truth determined by opinion polls?
No, they probably polled priests.
Exactly.
Yes, if they ignore the word of God, their church is nothing more than a club.
If a majority of Catholics vote for adultery too, will they take that out of the Bible?
"TRUTH is not determined by majority vote."
The true Roman Catholic Church already does ignore the scriptures, so what difference would this make? Eventually, Islam and Catholic church will merge into the new world religion, and force us all to convert or die.
“...A majority of Catholics want the Church to reconsider its teaching on LGBT issues,...”
NOT this Catholic. I must be in the minority. I dare anyone to find ONE passage in the Bible that supports that lifestyle. There are several that opposes it.
Once AGAIN....
GOD created Adam and EVE
NOT
Adam and STEVE
God’s moral teachings are not determined by majority vote.
How many of them attend mass each Sunday.
The poll runs counter to the overwhelming majority of Catholics in my house.
We’re unanimous on the subject of the Church enforcing it’s traditional teachings.
And that goes for the clerical transgressors, also.
I remember you, I, and others alerted Jim Robinson that this New York-based far-Left publication firm had blocked legitimate voices from Ireland.
I remember the Irish Echo was the link between those left behind and those who left.
My aunt, Sister Gertrude, and her brother, Charlie, (who had great success) and my grandfather with others kept the Irish Echo afloat.
There are a few of us who remember.
