US Catholics Support Gay marriage, Poll Finds

In case anyone is wondering about the level of social influence the new anti-gay Pope will have on American parishioners.

US Catholics support gay marriage by a larger margin than ordinary Americans despite Church teachings that forbid it, a new poll out Friday has found.

The Quinnipiac University poll found 54 percent of Catholics support same-sex marriage while just 38 percent are opposed, compared to a 47-43 percent margin among all American voters.

Both margins represent a reversal from the 36-55 percent opposition among all voters the group found as recently as July 2008.

"Catholic voters are leading American voters toward support for same-sex marriage," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the polling institute.

1. We need that love to trickle-up instead of hatred trickling-down.

How did the Catholic leadership get so divorced from its own laity?

2. I'm pretty sure Rome gave up on US catholics a while ago.

Thanks to our liberal views and objections to child molestation. They'd rather focus on more developing nations where they can still get away with a lot more.
