Contemporary Catholic Trends regularly monitors the opinions of American Catholics about the important issues of the day.  Making up nearly 25% of the population, American Catholics are a significant, but often poorly understood, community.  Begun in 2001, the twice-yearly poll tracks and contrasts U.S. Catholic opinion on religious, social, economic, and political issues, in addition to a  number of topical ‘hot button’ topics.
