Visit the website http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/week908/analysis2.html regarding a national poll comparing attitudes of traditional Catholics with those of liberal Catholics.

  1. What aspects of the information presented in Chapter 2 might you employ to understand these findings?

  2. How might the issue of fundamentalism versus nonfundamentalism be related to the differences between the two groups?

  3. Do you think that similar disagreement would be found in other religions if the poll had focused on members of these religions? Explain the basis for your position on this issue.
