WASHINGTON, D.C., March 11, 2013, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Critics are asking why a new Quinnipiac poll is claimimg that the majority of America Catholics suport same-sex “marriage” when suppressed data reveals the numbers are almost exactly reversed for the faithful. Quinnipiac released a poll on Friday headlined, “ American Catholics Support Same-Sex Marriage,” announcing that Catholics back redefining marriage by a margin of 54-38 percent. Bill Donohue , president of the Catholic League . But critics quickly questioned the way the data was presented and whether they truly reflect the views of American Catholics. Fully 39 percent of those surveyed said they do not practice their faith, with 11 percent saying they “never” attend church. “Leaving aside the not insignificant fact that the sample size of Catholics was a mere 497, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percent,” said Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, there is a “more problematic methodolo

June 11, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Canada’s bishops gave us a striking call last month to make “heroic” sacrifices in the face of laws that violate our conscience. Providentially, their conviction was put to the test only weeks later. A mere 11 days after the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a  strong letter  on the need to stand up for freedom of conscience and religion, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty announced  his government was amending its controversial “anti-bullying” bill to force Catholic schools into allowing “gay-straight alliances.” Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto Credit: Archdiocese of Toronto Cardinal Thomas Collins and Ontario’s bishops  warned  that the bill was a threat to religious freedom “in a very real sense.” But what heroic action did they take when it passed on June 5th? In a 94-word  statement , they wrote that despite their “serious concerns,” “the Accepting Schools Act is now the law” and the Catholic schools will work withi

VATICAN , November 28, 2011 – One of the highest ranking cardinals in the Vatican has said that the United States is “well on the way” to the persecution of Christians.  Cardinal Raymond Burke Cardinal Raymond Burke, former Archbishop of St. Louis and now the head of the Vatican’s highest court, told  Catholic News Agency  that he could envision a time when the Catholic Church in the U.S., “even by announcing her own teaching,” is accused of “engaging in illegal activity, for instance, in its teaching on human sexuality.” Asked if the cardinal could even see American Catholics being arrested for their faith he replied, “I can see it happening, yes.” In his remarks to several U.S. Bishops meeting with him Saturday, Pope Benedict XVI   made  similarly emphatic warnings about the U.S. The pope told the bishops that “the seriousness of the challenges which the Church in America, under your leadership, is called to confront in the near future cannot be underestimated.”  He added: “The

It is seen as the beginning of a movement within the international community and the United Nations to insert gay rights in the global human rights agenda,” said Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, head of the Holy See’s Permanent Mission to the UN in Geneva, in an interview with  Catholic News Agency . In addition to condemning acts of violence against homosexuals, the statement also expresses a “grave concern” about “discrimination” based upon sexual orientation, broad language that critics say paves the way for the marginalization of those who believe homosexual acts are sinful. “I think that violence against homosexual persons is not acceptable and it should be rejected, even though this does not imply an endorsement of

Image via Wikipedia Support for same-sex “marriage” and civil unions runs high among the Catholic population, even claiming the majority of Catholics who attend Mass weekly, according to a poll released this month. The survey by the Public Religion Research Institute ( PRRI )  found  that Catholics surpass other Christians and even the general public in their support for homosexual unions, both as “marriage” and other marriage-like unions recognized by the state. The results among Catholics were broken down among those who attend Mass weekly or more (38 percent of Catholics), once or twice per month (20 percent), or less often (41 percent). Support for same-sex “marriage” was far higher among the last group with 59 percent support, and only 16 percent against all types of homosexual unions. But even among those attending Mass weekly or more, only 31 percent were against legal recognition of homosexual unions; 26 percent favored same-sex “marriage” and 38 percent favored civil uni
