Although not Catholic myself, I’ve known many Catholics who would support these findings. Thanks!

“If marriage for gay couples is defined as a civil marriage ‘like you get at city hall,’ Catholic support for allowing gay couples to marry increases by 28 points, from 43 percent to 71 percent.”

With such a large increase among Catholics, we’re bound to see similar increases for other groups. The phrase “like you get at city hall” is totally accurate. We should be adding it for clarity whenever we talk about this issue, and whenever it’s placed before the public.
