This poll is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on a range of political and social issues. Respondents were asked to identify world religious leaders and to give their views on Pope John Paul the Second as a political and religious leader and the Roman Catholic Church. Those queried were asked detailed questions on the role of the Catholic Church, with specific items on abortion, women in the priesthood, belief in Jesus Christ, and the possible return of Jesus Christ in their lifetime. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, political party, political orientation, education, age, sex, race, and family income.
