Survey reveals that young Catholics’ views differ from pare
NEWYORK (AP) — Helping the poor and
believing Jesus Christ is present in the Eu
charist are essential to being Catholic.
What’s not essential? Celibate male
priests, teachings that oppose the death
penalty or support for organized labor.
A poll of 701 post-baby boom Catholics
sought to gauge what is non-negotiable
about their faith.
It found them agreeing with older mem
bers in putting the sacraments first, but
more inclined to accept married and
women clergy and lower ecclesiastical
fences with Protestants.
“There’s no doubt, after looking at this
data and at other data, that the younger
people would be willing to reexamine
things,” said sociologist Dean Hoge of
Catholic University of America.
He joined CU colleague William Dinges,
Sister Mary Johnson of Emmanuel College
in Boston, and Juan Gonzalez of the Uni
versity of California at Hayward to com
mission a telephone poll as part of a larger
study of young Catholics.
Princeton Survey Research Associates
interviewed the Catholics aged 20 to 39 last
fall. The results, released to The Associated
Press, show that “the sacraments are very
strong, and almost the central identity of
what Catholics are all about,” Hoge said.
Asked what should be essential beliefs, 65
percent of respondents identified God’s
presence in the sacraments, while 58 per
cent cited Christ’s presence in the Eucharist.
Other key aspects of Cadiolic faith were
devotion to Mary and the saints, the neces
sity of a pope, and weekly obligation to at
tend Mass. More than 80 percent of re
spondents termed these elements essential
or important to being Catholic.
Concern for the poor was also central to
Catholic identity. Nearly 60 percent called
charitable help essential to the faith, and 52
percent identified as essential a belief that
God is present in a special way in the poor.
Not all church teachings or rules are held
in high regard, according to the survey.
Only 17 percent deemedii
believe that priests mustbem
27 percent that they cannotn
er 25 percent considered a nu
— and a celibate one —tobf
but not essential.
Eighteen percent were
church support of workers’ri[
ize, and only 14 percent idenii:
port as essential to the fait!
percent saw opposing thede,
essential to being Catholic.
