Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Archbishop Timothy Broglio "is a divisive pick" for USCCB president whose leadership of the Archdiocese for Military Services "has been characterized by culture-war grandstanding and fear-mongering on everything from abortion to marriage equality, as well as the spreading of vaccine misinformation at the height of the deadly global COVID-19 pandemic," Manson said.
46% : "Ultimately, this is about how the Church will respond to abortion, and whose view of this battle will hold sway in the Catholic Church and beyond," Pavone said in a statement on Monday.
44% : He's served as the Vatican's 'fixer' in the United States, spearheading the bishops' assaults on abortion rights and marriage equality, writing policies that protect bishops at the expense of victims of clerical sexual assault, and serving as Supreme Chaplain for the Knights of Columbus, which has been one of the largest funders of anti-choice and anti-LGBTQ crusades all across the country," Manson said.
41% : "My followers agree that the truth about abortion has to be seen, because the word has lost all its meaning," Pavone said in a statement at the time.
40% : American Catholic leaders continue to talk about abortion, using it as a regular talking point to rally voters as a political cudgel.
