While 60 percent of Catholics in the pews accept homosexuality, that number jumps to almost 80 percent among those who don't regularly attend Mass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-76578061918443088522016-01-06T08:33:41.055-05:002016-01-06T08:33:41.055-05:00If we are the bad guys Lord save us from the good ...If we are the bad guys Lord save us from the good ones.Michael Dowdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650782589323136700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-80246393249160743472016-01-06T00:47:16.137-05:002016-01-06T00:47:16.137-05:00I can't stand this pontiff but, to be fair, in...I can't stand this pontiff but, to be fair, informed commenters are suggesting the numbers are down because people are fearful of terrorist attacks.
