Synod: Poll finds practicing, non-practicing Catholics in America are worlds apart
By JOHN L. ALLEN JR.
Rome
In reporting on American Catholics, the head of the Knights of Columbus today argued, media outlets should distinguish between ?practicing? and ?non-practicing? Catholics ? because new polling data he presented shows these two groups are, in many ways, worlds apart.
Carl Anderson, the Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, spoke this evening at a Rome news conference to release a new survey of Catholic voters, commissioned by the Knights and carried out by the Marist College Institute of Public Opinion in late September and early October.
