Rasmussen Reports conducted a telephone poll with 1,000 American adults on May 16 and 17.The Roman Catholic Church is NOT a democracy, especially not a democracy of non-Catholics.
What an absolutely absurd poll question!

Ironically, the priest I had in Georgia, whom I loved dearly and who marched against abortion, favored Kerry in the ‘04 elections.

Who cares what they think, it is not their Business. The Church is not a Democracy for Cafeteria Catholics. Butt out DBM and Polling idiots.....You are insane with this Polling rot.

Reacting to those comments, Rasmussen Reports conducted a telephone poll with 1,000 American adults on May 16 and 17. Point #1: Since when is the morality of an action dependent upon poll results? (Except if you are a Clintonista)
Point #2: Since when do the opinion of non-Catholics have anything to do with what the Catholic Church does? Presumably a poll of 1,000 American Adults would include non-Catholics. In fact would be mostly non-Catholics.

Exactly why is Bill Clinton receiving communion in a Cathollic church? He should know freakin’ well that as a non-Catholic (non-Orthodox Christian) he is not to receive Catholic communion.
In the same way that I would refuse to answer this poll question (because it is a ridiculously irrelevant question), I abstain from taking communion in the Catholic church—simply because church doctrine states that I shouldn’t.
To: monomaniac
and this would matter if truth was actually determined by majority opinion....

Exactly why is Bill Clinton receiving communion in a Catholic church?Because he's a presumptuous ass who has calculated (correctly it seems) that he will not be refused. Of course he knows better. He simply doesn't care.

If they had added to the questions & asked whether or not the state should do anything about the Church refusing Communion (which isn’t actually what the church has done anyway), how many of those polled do you think would have answered “yes”?
To: monomaniac
I wonder if other moral questions in American society, such as whether or not two homosexuals can legally marry one another, can also be decided by the results of a poll?

Wouldn’t and shouldn’t matter if all of them were Catholics... The Catholic Church isn’t and shouldn’t be run via opinion polls.

A new national poll of adults shows that a majority of people disagree that Catholic politicians who support abortion should be denied communion at church.
Yeah well a majority of adults are not Catholic. DUH!!!
To: monomaniac
How many polled are Catholics registered in a diocese?

I’m too frightened for the American Catholic Church to speculate.

How utterly bizzare!
Non-Catholics polled about what the Catholic Church should do regarding a purely internal matter.
I am not a Catholic and even I find the arrogance of this question amazing.
