Practicing Catholics unfazed by abuse scandals; Pope’s popularity increasing
While polls and statistics are always to be viewed with a certain amount of suspicion, I think the important word here is 'practicing'.
People who aren't active Catholics but still categorize themselves as Catholic have likely stopped practicing for a reason, and it's much easier for them to be critical and suspicious of, and angry toward, the Church and the Pope. Those who are practicing might take a more moderate stance. It stands to reason...
