The bus carried a group of nuns from Iowa who led prayer vigils and held rallies to protest at what Sister Simone Campbell, at the final rally in Washington, called a "budget that rejects church teachings on solidarity, inequality, choice for the poor and the common good". Pope Benedict XVI may favour a smaller, more obedient church, but American Catholics remain a large and politically heterodox group. Official church doctrine opposes birth control, yet American Catholic women use it at similar rates to non-Catholic women. Despite the church's opposition to homosexuality, a 2010 Pew Forum poll found that more American Catholics favour than oppose gay marriage. Around one in four American voters is Catholic. That proportion has held steady for decades, largely because of immigration, but there has been a shift in American Catholicism's centre of gravity, from its traditional bastions in the urban north-east both southward and westward.
