My diocese story today mentioned a recent survey from the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, which among other findings concluded that about 10 percent of Americans are former Catholics.

This morning I got an email from Mark Gray, director of CARA Catholic Polls at Georgetown University. Gray has its own take of Pew’s findings. Here are links to CARA reports: http://cara.georgetown.edu/rel022808.pdf.
