catholics support obama on this one: WASHINGTON (RNS) A vocal contingent of Republican presidential candidates and church leaders are railing against the Obama administration's "war on religion," but most Americans can't seem to find the fight. A majority (56 percent) of Americans say religious liberty is not threatened in the U.S., according to a new poll released Thursday (March 15) by the Public Religion Research Institute, which conducted the survey in partnership with Religion News Service. The poll, which asked a wide range of questions, also found significant support for same-sex marriage. Even though Catholic bishops are leading the charge that the new White House mandate requiring insurance plans to cover birth control for employees is a threat to religious liberty, Catholics reject -- by a 57 to 38 percent margin -- the idea that religious liberty is under siege. What's more, nearly two-thirds of Catholics support the contraception requirements for publicly held corporations (65 percent), compared to 62 percent of all Americans. A strong 60 percent of Catholics say religiously affiliated colleges should have to comply, compared to 54 percent of Americans in general. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/...freedom-catholics_n_1349260.html?ref=religion
I doubt it. The Pope has been aroud a lot longer than a President. Secondly, if Obama has so much support why is Obamacare in the courts? We should take a poll and check if Obama was aware of the contraceptive issue in Obamacare.
american catholic women ignore the pope. he is irrelevent. 97% of sexually active catholic women use contraceptives.
