The findings of a recent report about Catholic support for same-sex marriage was called into question upon analysis that found the report was funded by a major gay rights activist foundation and that some of the polls did not give respondents the option to choose common law unions instead of marriage for gay couples.
But support for gay marriage was quickly qualified by one of the presenters of the information. While calling support for same-sex unions “a surprise to many Catholic activists,” Stephen Schneck, Catholic University of America’s director of the Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies, suggested that if all of the polls about gay marriage also mentioned civil unions, the report would reveal that Catholics who attend parish services weekly or twice a month largely favor civil union over gay marriage. He said, “Catholics appear to like civil unions as an alternative to same-sex marriage.”
