Photo: Stuff.com More than eight out of ten readers of The Irish Catholic in a Facebook poll say they agree with US bishops that abortion should be a more important concern for Catholics than other moral issues.
At their recent plenary meeting, the bishops adopted a new text aimed at voters which said that the “threat of abortion” is the “preeminent priority” for the Church to work against there.
However, 69 bishops voted against the use of the word “preeminent” warning that abortion should be considered alongside other pressing issues such as climate change.
In the IC poll, 81% said they agreed with the use of the world preeminent while 19% said they disagreed.
