about half of catholics and white mainline protestants now say they support gay marriage.ut 42% of all americans are still opposed it, and much of the strongest opposition is rooted in religion. the vast majority of white evangelicals and black protestants remain firmly against allowing gays and lesbians to marry. >> reporter: reverend dennis wiley of covenant baptist united church of christ is one of growing numbers of clergy who support gay marriage as a matter of justice. >> straight people of faith like myself and others who have fought and continued to fight as allies and advocates alongside our lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender brothers and sisters have been vindicated for our steadfast and unwavering support of marriage equality. >> reporter: national cathedral dean gary hall announced in january that the cathedral would welcome the celebration of same-sex weddings. >> i think there's a good biblical case to be made that god made human beings in god's image and blessed human beings and pronounced us good. so, whoever we are in our sexual orientation, we are go

he is speaking out doing so going to the white house would have gone against everything he believes in as a prelife catholiclisten to this. >> i am pro-life, obviously, and i am okay with, everyone has to make their own decisions. president obama is obviously pro choice. but i think when you evoke the name of god when you are the president and you are the first president to address planned parenthood, you can't acknowledge god and say god bless planned parenthood. it's a contradiction. 330,000 lives ended last year at planned parenthood, and i just -- being pro choice is one thing but bringing god into it that's just too much for me to handle. >> birk also went on to say the ravens are a very spiritual team. a lot of his players praise the decision not to attend the celebration at the white house. >> it is time now to brew on this. it's friday and that means a recap of the week's viral videos. tell us which one you like the best. >> first up is 12-year-old julia. she became an overnight sensation she nails the national anthem before the game in miami. next little chase shares quite the experience with his d

catholics. 49% surveyed support same-sex marriage. only 35% oppose. here's the breakdown by race. the biggest supports comes from hispanics, 57%. white, 50%. blacks, 32%. and asians, 30%. the biggest shift on the issue is in the african-american community. approval for same-sex marriage dropped 20 points among blacks. the ceo of san francisco pride earl plante says regardless of the high court's decision, they still need to do a lot more work to get public support. >> the battle for hearts and minds i think is being waged obviously. and we're making significant progress. >> i go to church and i believe in the church. but i also believe that people should be able to do what's in their hearts. >> reporter: gloria is catholic and also goes to church. her heart says no to same-sex marriage. >> i can't help that. that's just what i feel inside myself. >> reporter: 68% of those surveyed also believe same-sex couples should be able to get legal benefits of marriage. that number has stayed consistent for the past few years for now. live here in the castro, i'm da lin, kpix 5. >> all right, da, thank you. you can find the full results of our exclus

catholic in there. >> that would be perfect. >> all right. seema mody, thanks for that update. up next on kudlow, the whitee says it won't settle for anything less than a major long-term budget deal in congress that ends the sequester, and jacks up taxes. no way, friends, president has got a veto strategy and that could lead to a government shutdown later on this year. that's next up on "the kudlow report." my mantra? always go the extra mile. to treat my low testosterone, i did my research. my doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment. axiron can restore t levels to normal in about 2 weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medications. serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer;

white house has handled this? >> i think it's been abysmal. they've created more noise around this issue than anything else that issa has done. >> is it free floating guilt as we catholicsld say? why would they act like they're guilty if there's no evidence they are? >> i have no idea. it's a real puzzle for a shop that's supposed to be so politically keen and astute, they have a certain tone deafness. >> i agree. >> why is that. >> i agree with all that. what's remarkable to me someone clearly knew that progressive groups were on these bolo lists since when this thing emerged. and they still never said anything. we could have had a different political conversation over the past month if someone had spoken up and said this. instead we've focused incessantly on the scandal and only now learning this information. >> i sound like such a political hack sometimes. i think they need a political operation at the white house that has somebody man or woman, whatever age in charge of making political judgments. the political judgment that had to be made here was either there's nothing there or if there is something there, get on top of it. but don't sit back and let this grow and
