While it is too soon to say whether Pope Francis’ speech will be well received by Congress, a new online survey shows that American Catholics are likely to agree with his less-than-traditional message.
“The Shriver Report Snapshot: Insight Into the Conscience of the Complex Catholic” found that 86 percent of respondents align highly with the Pope’s message on income inequality and the environment over controversial issues like abortion and same-sex marriage. From that majority, an overwhelming 84 percent said they attended church weekly and 77 percent described themselves as conservatives. CONT.
