    Oh ye of little faith, Kyle! We destroy ourselves by cynicism and disillusion and that's not what we are about. We are a people of hope.There's a range of views expressed on this forum and I look forw

    I would have to agree with Tom Hayes as to lack of clarity on how the sample was chosen and on how reliable the survey can be even as a rough dipstick approach. Granted, a better than one-third respon

    To call this a "survey" is at the very least an overstatement. The station's website notes that "The Newstalk survey was submitted to 320 priests nationwide. 114 priests responded." This is hardly a r
