A 2009 Pew study found that of 39 percent of young adults who leave the Catholic Church, and who are now unaffiliated with a religion, said they were “unhappy with the way religion treated women.”

In a separate study last year, nearly 70 percent of US Catholics said they believe women should be ordained to the priesthood.
