<p style="font-weight: 400;">According to CNN, a stunning 21% of Americans believe it is morally acceptable to have more than one spouse.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">CNN analyst Harry Enten <a href="https://grabien.com/story?id=558130&amp;utm_source=cliplist&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=cliplist20251126&amp;utm_content=story558130">discussed</a> with host Erin Burnett a new <a href="https://www.ncronline.org/vatican/vatican-issues-sweeping-defense-traditional-marriage-pushing-back-polygamy">doctrinal note</a> issued by Pope Leo defending traditional marriage. The pope wrote the note in response to African bishops who represent communities where polygamy is common.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Monogamy is not simply the opposite of polygamy,” the note stated. “It is much more, and its deepening allows a conception of marriage in all of its richness and fertility.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“We know the pope was responding in part to concerns from African bishops who are concerned about the rise of polygamy that they are dealing with. They had wanted this statement,” Burnett said, prompting, “What are the basics? Like why? Why do this now?”</p>
<p>“This pope is trying to make a real sort of statement,” Enten replied.  “But more than that, you know, it&#8217;s not just Africa where we see polygamy, you know, at high levels. In America, for example, the number of Americans in a polyamorous relationship, I was crunching some numbers, we&#8217;re talking upwards of nine million Americans in a polyamorous relationship. Now, I should point out it&#8217;s an estimate because it turns out there&#8217;s no exact poll asking this question. But when you sort of put the different estimates together, we think it&#8217;s about nine million people, which is a lot of folks.”</p>

<p>“Polygamy, polyamory for a while were taboo, right?” Burnett asked. “There were certain places where it would happen in this country that people would think, you know, but it became something that wasn&#8217;t very common. Is it now more morally acceptable?”</p>
<p>“Building a trend line as to how many people are in a polyamorous relationship now versus 20 years ago is a little bit difficult,” Enten answered. “But we do know that the percentage who say it&#8217;s morally acceptable is up like a rocket. I mean, you compare it to 20 years ago, we were talking about just 6 percent. Look at it now, 21 percent say polygamy is morally acceptable. Now, that is a rise of more than three times. “</p>
<p>“One in five,” he continued. “And that is led by younger folks where that percentage is over 30 percent. “</p>
<p>“I&#8217;ll tell you two things you don&#8217;t know,” he continued. “First off, ‘polyamorous.’ That word did not actually enter the English language until 1990. That is a very new word. Polyamorous becoming a new word. And more than that, you might think, okay, polygamy, you might think of the state of Utah, Mormonism. But in fact, the two states where that Google polyamorous relationships the most are actually Alaska and Oregon, not very religious states.”</p>
