In the Midst of the National Eucharistic Revival, Vinea Research Releases New Findings Affirming More Mass-Going Catholics Believe in the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist
Although a 2019 Pew Study reported that only one-third of Catholics believe in the Eucharist, a new study from Vinea Research indicates the number of Catholics who believe in the True Presence is much higher
A new study from Vinea Research indicates that 69% of Mass-going Catholics believe in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, which calls into question the accuracy of results from the survey wording choices used in a previous 2019 study from the Pew Research Center, which were not consistent with Catholic teaching. The Pew study claimed only one-third (34%) of Mass-going Catholics in the United States believed in the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Vinea Research, a strategic market research company focused on Catholic topics, conducted their own study in late 2022, using survey language that they believe more accurately represents how Catholics understand the Eucharist.
Published in 2019 with an explosive headline “Just one-third of U.S. Catholics agree with their church that Eucharist is body, blood of Christ,” this Pew study surprised Catholic leaders and led to the launch of the National Eucharistic Revival in 2022. However, using language more commonly understood by Catholics, Vinea’s research indicates that many more Catholics than originally thought have an authentic understanding of the core Catholic teaching of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. According to the founder of Vinea Research, Hans Plate, this is a beacon of hope for the American Catholic Church and an affirmation of the incredible response to the National Eucharistic Revival.
