The right-leaning media watchdog group PolitiFact says it's mostly true that a majority of Catholics support gay marriage.

Garden State Equality Chairman Steve Goldstein recently responded to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's claim that his Catholic faith was behind his opposition to gay marriage by saying a majority of Catholics support the institution.

PolitiFact investigated, and after analyzing the results of three nationwide surveys, concluded Goldstein's assertion to be “mostly true.”

A March ABC News/Washington Post poll with a 7.5 percent margin of error found 60% of Catholics support marriage equality, while 38 percent oppose it.

1. The very first time I voted "de-criminalizing" homosexuality was on

the ballot.

The Church told us to support that because it was the right thing to do.

Abortion was on that same ballot, and of course that was against God's will.

Both passed. I was very proud of my fellow Washingtonians!
