- Abstract
This section presents a summary report on the results of Survey II which was conducted by the Catholic University of America's Catholic Opinion Study Committee of the Department of Sociology, in the U.S. in 1954. The summary report is presented in response to frequent requests by cooperators in the project and other members of the society. The data given are based upon a total of 4105 tabulated opinionnaires. Cooperators frequently selected their college students for study, yet there is a fair representation of other Catholic groups such as parish societies, college alumnae, fraternal and workingmen's organizations. Potential respondents were polled either by mail or by personal contact. In most cases, the opinionnaire was group-administered to some specific audience. In this way, returns were obtained from eighteen states and the District of Columbia, representing each of the major regions except the South Atlantic and Mountain States. The resulting sample is purely accidental and cannot be taken as representative of any definable universe. The first section of the report is devoted to a general description of respondents from the background information supplied on the tabulated questionnaires. The second section summarizes respondents' opinions on specific poll questions.
