Catholics similar to mainstream on moral issues

Americans who are the most religious also tend to be the most conservative on moral issues. Among committed Catholics, however, a slim majority seem to be at odds with the church's positions on premarital sex, embryonic stem-cell research, divorce, and the death penalty. Regular churchgoers who are not Catholic are more conservative (i.e., less likely to find a given practice morally acceptable) than Catholic churchgoers. Gallup Poll
