Only 28 percent of American Catholics say Notre Dame was wrong to invite President Obama to give the university’s commencement address this month, according to a new study by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

Half say the Fighting Irish was kosher in inviting Obama, and two out of three say he’s doing a good job in the Oval Office, despite the loud protestations of a couple dozen Catholic bishops.

As is often the case, Catholics who attend Mass weekly tend to be a bit more conservative, and thus more likely to disapprove of Obama and his little visit to South Bend.

Overall, it kinda mirrors the 2008 campaign, a bunch of noisy bishops wringing their hands over Obama, while a majority of Catholics either don’t care or don’t pay attention and vote for Obama anyway.
