- "The survey presented seven actions, and priests were asked to indicate whether each action was a sin 'always,' 'often,' 'seldom,' or 'never'....According to official Catholic teaching each action is always a sin.

Respondents were asked the degree to which they agree or disagree with this statement: 'The sole path to salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ'....how conservative or liberal Catholic priests are on political matters maps onto their views on this question of theology....conservatives and liberals, it turns out, are attuned to quite different sets of moral intuitions....

"If I say to the wicked, You shall surely die—and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade the wicked from their evil conduct in order to save their lives—then they shall die for their sin, but I will hold you responsible for their blood." (Ezekiel 3:18)
