September 25, 2011

In connection with this first anniversary poll of the papal visit, Opinion Research Business has also released the full data tables for two other online surveys conducted for the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales but hitherto unpublished. They were undertaken immediately before (14-16 September 2010, n = 2,028) and after (22-24 September 2010, n = 2,002) the visit. Questions relate to attitudes to the Pope, the papal visit, and the Roman Catholic Church. See:
