Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Feb 9, 2023 / 15:00 pm A little more than a third of Catholic parents say it is extremely or very important for their children to grow up to have religious beliefs similar to their own, according to a recent Pew Research Center report.
In the study released last month and expounded further in a Feb. 6 article, 35% of Catholic parents with children under 18 said it is extremely or very important for their children to grow up to share their religious beliefs.
In total, 65% of Catholics said it was either extremely, very, or somewhat important for their children to hold their Catholic beliefs as adults. Thirty-four percent of Catholics said it was not too important or not important at all.
Hispanic Catholics answered with slightly more enthusiasm with 39% saying it was extremely or very important that their children grow up to share their religious beliefs, while white and non-Hispanic Catholics registered at 29%.
Catholics recorded among the lowest enthusiasm for passing their religion to their children of any Christian denomination in the survey.
An even lower 29% of white non-evangelical Protestants said it is extremely or very important for their children to share their religious beliefs.
White evangelicals were among the highest, with 70% responding that it is extremely or very important for their adult children to share their religious beliefs. In other words, white evangelical parents are twice as likely as their Catholic counterparts to strongly believe their children should share their views on religion.
The only group that registered significantly lower enthusiasm overall was the religiously unaffiliated category, those self-identifying as atheist, agnostic, or nothing. Only 8% of this group said having their children share their beliefs was either extremely or very important.

Not only garbage, but total garbage.
Sure, by leaving (my priest, under the influence of alcohol, used vulgar language to describe my basic faith as an evangelical Christian) and and thousands of posts since.
So whenever we hear what “Catholics” believe, we have to disregard these 2/3rds.
They must have only asked Catholic DEMOCRATS!!
This priest, using vulgar language and likely intoxicated, you think he was representing the Church, which forbids vulgar language and intoxication?
They've merely been poorly catechized, but you can be DAMNED sure that they are as Catholic as the next guy!
Once “C”, always “C”!

Funny that you rcc’s make fun of prots and say we have 7,000,000,000 denominations, but rcc’s claim they are all unified, but you are not and we won’t even get into the homo thing. I think my Lord Jesus called you hypocrites.
I just did a Bible study lesson, and my men were absolutely astonished at the slaughter of the whore of rome. They did not realize that the European inquisitions were all about prots being burned at the stake by rome. Rome’s death cult is exactly what motivated Hitler and proved to be his perfect example of torture and death.

RCCs members actually are unified in the sense that there’s only ONE RCC. However, like any other organization every member is not in lockstep with every other member on every issue. The “homo thing” is a terrible disgrace, but of course it’s not unique to the RCC as I’m sure you are aware! Are there hypocrites in the RCC? Of course there are, just as there are hypocrites in every organization. So, my friend, even though it is obvious that your intention is to disparage the RCC and its members, you are only doing what countless others have been doing throughout the history of Christendom! Shame on you! By the way, are you by any chance a member of one of those snake-handling Pentecostal sects?

I just love it when a plan comes together.
At least handling a snake IS mentioned in the bible, while future visitations from 'Mary' are not.

Silly girl. In you extensive study of the Bible have you managed to find mention of the word “Bible”? No? Well keep looking, Dear, it HAS to be in there SOMEWHERE! So what species of serpent are you handling nowadays, and where can I attend one of your shows?
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;
Well, by merely opening up a Catholic NAB, I find on the inside preface that at least 6 times the word BIBLE is printed.

What are doing reading a Catholic Bible in the first place? And obviously my question about finding that word was in reference to its appearance or not in the Scriptures not to a preface! Are you really that obtuse? You need to make a visit to the local parish church in your neighborhood and confess your sins to the priest there!

Well I’m sorry to burst your bubble concerning the inerrancy of the Bible, but it’s well known that quite a few Pentecostal snakehandlers have died from drinking poison. Perhaps you would like to try a glass yourself sometime, you know, just to prove the Bible is not mistaken!
So there are things that you find in the bible that are obviously wrong.
