A new US survey has found that 1 in 5 Catholic likely voters say they accept everything the Church teaches [1], with young adults being more likely than older generations to say they agree with Catholic doctrine.
RealClear Opinion Research, in partnership with EWTN News, conducted an Oct. 5-11 poll, surveying 1,490 likely voters who self-identify as Catholic.
One significant shift in the data is an increase in young adult Catholics who say they believe everything the Catholic Church teaches.
Twenty-five percent of 18-34 year olds in the latest survey said they accept everything the Church teaches, compared to 21% of those ages 35-54 and 16% of those 55 and older.
