A majority of Catholics in the United States who attend Mass weekly support same-sex marriage and the ordination of women to the priesthood, according to a Quinnipiac University survey released October 4.
The survey found that 56% of Americans, 53% of Catholics who attend Mass weekly, and 65% of Catholics who attend Mass less frequently would support “a law in your state that would allow same-sex couples to get married.” Support was stronger among Catholics of ages 18-49 (64%) than ages 50-64 (62%) or 65+ (46%).
According to the survey, 72% of Catholic women back same-sex marriage, while 49% of Catholic men do.
The survey also found that 52% of Catholics who attend Mass weekly, and 66% who attend less frequently, favor the ordination of women to the priesthood. Support was stronger among Catholics of age 65+ (68%) than ages 50-64 (64%) or 18-49 (57%). By a slight (2%) margin, women are more likely to favor women’s ordination than men are.
According to the poll, 53% of Americans believe that abortion should be legal in most or all cases, while 49% believe it should be illegal in most or all cases. By a 61%-32% margin, Catholics who attend Mass weekly believe abortion should be illegal in most or all cases; by a 64%-29% margin, Catholics who attend Mass less frequently believe that abortion should be legal in most or all cases. By a slight (2%) margin, women are more likely to oppose abortion than men are.
93% of Catholics who attend Mass weekly, and 85% who attend less frequently, have a favorable or very favorable opinion of Pope Francis.
No
The hierarchy of the Catholic Church in the U.S. is still mostly liberal Democrat. The bishops’ conference is HARD Left. They STILL support Obamacare.
BAD NEWS: I just read that Cardinal Sean O’Malley and Bergoglio have been friends for many years. O’Malley was in Assisi a few days ago. He is thought to be very influential with Bergoglio. We’ll know it’s true if Nancy Pelosi gets a big, splashy funeral in St. Peter’s.
I attend a NO Mass, only because the TLM is an hour away. Are you saying that I’m not Catholic? I don’t believe in women’s ordination and homosexual “marriage”. Maybe you should put down that broad brush.
Some uniformed voters go to Mass on Sunday too. No one should be surprised at one more form of ignorance. They read their local MSM fish wrap and have no idea that what they read may not be true.
That UNINFORMED. Not uniformed. Damn “smart” phones.
I wonder how many of those wish to actually partake in this. It s like feminists who are penis fearin lesbians but have no problem with little boys being sodomized... much like hose islamist women who are proud of their rape practiin husband.
Stand back folks! Here come da spin!
My chapel is 45 minutes away, yet I make the trip every Sunday and Holy Day of obligation.
I’m not saying this makes me a martyr, but as one traditional priest told me, and others, that if we could make it to one mass a month and not join the gaggle who comprise the N.O. gatherings, that would be sufficient.
Reading scriptures, praying and saying the Rosary could be quite sufficient in the eyes of God.
Quinnipiac poll!
Next...
One word: YES
I know plenty of folks who no longer have that good feeling toward nuns because of their arrogance.
Also...
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
Go browse the "policy" website of the USCCB. Other than the life and marriage issues, everything else there could have been written by the DNC.
yep—
And if you are :
Nancy Pelosi
Any of the Kennedys
John Kerry
Carol Mosely Braun
Dennis Kucinich
THEY ALL get a pass spewing their abominations toward God!!
ANNNNND are allowed to proclaim - their abominations
without fear of retribution from the Catholic Church.
(by the way -there are 100’s of evil Homosexual priests-
that have never been removed either!!)
This Baptist is pro life and antihomosexual...watch your mouth and don’t paint with a broad brush. I don’t paint all Catholics as being the same...!
Catholicism’s hard-left turn in the ‘80s is what drove me out of it. The bishops did the DNC’s dirty work by protesting Reagan’s nuclear armament policies. They wanted a U.S. nuclear “freeze” (read: unilateral disarmament) regardless of the Soviets’ actions. Couple that with the rise in popularity in Catholic circles of “liberation theology,” aiding communist insurgencies like those in El Salvador and other areas in Central and South America.
And now this...
