Yesterday the Globe teased some results of its recent poll of Catholics, saying that 39% would support an American Catholic church independent of the Vatican. (Never mind that 52% would oppose this.) But today the details show who's behind those numbers. People who attend Mass less than monthly -- non-practicing Catholics -- support such a suggestion (no surprise there). People to whom the faith is "very important" reject it (62% vs. 26%). So to all of you people who never attend Mass: have a nice day.
