Em frases como
On average, Catholic clergy say they talk about the “sin of homosexuality” a little more than often than “rarely.”
Chastity is also discussed somewhat more frequently than in the two Protestant groups than among Catholics, though differences are not statistically significant.

Achei estranha a repetição do comparativo "than". Afinal, o que se faz mais ou menos ali? Nunca vi esse tipo de construção antes.

um pouco mais do que "raramente"


Explanation:
No geral, o clero católico diz que fala sobre o "pecado da homossexualidade" um pouco mais do que "raramente".
A castidade também é abordada um pouco mais frequentemente nos dois grupos protestantes do que entre os católicos, embora as diferenças não sejam estatisticamente significativas.

raramente, mas nem tanto


Explanation:
Creio que a forma mais correta em inglês para eliminar os dois 'than' (o than a mais realmente é um erro) seria 'somewhat rarely'.
Aliás, somewhat é um das minhas palavras favoritas em inglês, junto com 'albeit' e 'indeed' - e a nova descoberta 'overmorrow'.
Exemplo usando estas palavras:
'Somewhat' is somewhat posh, right?
Yes, indeed. It is a very VIP word, albeit hardly used. OK, I'll use it overmorrow!
