Seven in 10 said they could never leave the church, &ldquo;no matter what.&rdquo; Close to 6&nbsp;in 10 also said abortion is a sin. Greater than half said that devotion to Mary and receiving sacraments, such as communion, are &ldquo;essential&rdquo; to being Catholic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There are &ldquo;major differences between Catholics who attend Mass regularly and those who do not,&rdquo; Smith said. Catholics who attend Mass at least once a week are much more likely to agree with church positions on sexuality, marriage and other controversial issues.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span>Pew&rsquo;s report on
