Relatively fewer, although sizable numbers, point to the church&#8217;s political views and stands on issues like abortion and divorce, or church doctrine itself, as reasons they feel the church is out of touch with their needs. Those who think it is out of touch still mostly believe the Church respects women as much as men, just not to the extent that those who call it &#8220;in touch&#8221; do.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-original\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/2025\/05\/07\/f1b839b1-52d4-4dca-9e1b-b5110cf95c4b\/reasons-out-of-touch.png?v=e61856d8e666e7ed5709adc37bb2d465#\" alt=\"reasons-out-of-touch.png \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/2025\/05\/07\/f1b839b1-52d4-4dca-9e1b-b5110cf95c4b\/reasons-out-of-touch.png?v=e61856d8e666e7ed5709adc37bb2d465 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\"\/><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Big majorities feel the Catholic Church currently provides them with spiritual guidance, forgiveness from sin, along with connection to tradition and belonging and community.<\/p>\n<p>And they&#8217;d like the next Pope to be someone compassionate, also most want one who&#8217;d be outspoken.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-original\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/2025\/05\/07\/b7e2bff8-da4f-4bc8-bbfe-7d44245fc9f2\/pope-traits.png?v=e61856d8e666e7ed5709adc37bb2d465#\" alt=\"pope-traits.png \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/2025\/05\/07\/b7e2bff8-da4f-4bc8-bbfe-7d44245fc9f2\/pope-traits.png?v=e61856d8e666e7ed5709adc37bb2d465 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\"\/><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>This CBS News\/YouGov survey was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 1,298 adult Catholics living in the U.S.\u00a0 interviewed between April 30-May 5, 2025.
