Overwhelming Majority of American Catholics Support Benedict

According to an ABC News poll, 81% of American Catholics "approve of the new pope." I think that one of John Paul the Great's miracles has to be the widespread acceptance of his successor. Except in the MSM (and others we already knew were looney), I haven't heard too many negative opinions. Even Cardinal Mahony has been oddly positive in his comments.

Also, it would seem that "feminism" isn't as prevalent among Catholic as it seems. According to the same poll, "responding to the concerns of women in the church" should be last among the prioities of Benedict.

Is there hope for America after all?
