New Poll: Sacraments Today: Belief and Practice Among U.S. Catholics
The poll found that Catholics born before 1960 - among the most faithful parishioners - and those born since the 1980s have similar outlooks.
For Catholics who attend Mass at least once a month, an overwhelming majority of the young and older generation believe Christ is present in the Eucharist. . . .
Sixty-eight percent of all Catholics surveyed said they agreed that they believed they could be in good standing with the church without going to weekly Mass. . . .
Thirty percent of the respondents said they go to confession less than once a year and 45 percent said they never go. Last edited on Mon Apr 14th, 2008 01:43 pm by Intercessor
