Catholics Who Attend Mass Are Divorced Less and Have More Children: USCCB Poll

WASHINGTON, D.C., February 12, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Last April the USCCB Subcommittee on Marriage and the Family Life commissioned a poll on marriage and family issues, to be conducted by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate. The final product, a poll of 1,008 self-identified Catholics, shows, as put by Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, the Chairman of the subcommittee, a "mixed picture." Amongst many other findings, the poll indicated that Catholics who attend Mass frequently are the least likely to get divorced and are more likely to have more children.

Sort of the whole point of the exercise, isn't it?
