“Pope Francis rocked the Catholic world last month when he gave a wide-ranging interview in which he declared that the church had become “obsessed” with a few moral issues and needed to find a ‘new balance.’

Religion News Service’s David Gibson reports on the Quinnipiac University poll that shows that two in three Catholics questioned agree with the pope on this issue.
