Have there been declines in attendance at other Churches, Mosques, Synagogues, Temples, Meeting Houses? Yep.<br /><br />Has there been a drastic increase outside the Catholic Church in divorce, cohabitation, "serial monogamy?" Yep.<br /><br />Have social service groups like the Jaycees, Lions, Elks, Rotary suffered from declines? Yep.<br /><br />To suggest that these struggles are only in the Catholic Church, or that these struggles are because of something that happened in the Catholic Church is to ignore reality<br /><br />This is not a Catholic Church crisis. It is a crisis in western culture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-59548484598318863262014-04-04T10:02:47.153-04:002014-04-04T10:02:47.153-04:00The West has conquered neither slavery, Fascism, o...The West has conquered neither slavery, Fascism, or Communism. Minorities are still slaves on the Democratic welfare plantation and they perform for Massa on playing fields and basketball courts all over the country. There is a Fascist in the whitehouse, and most of our "progressive" reforms are based upon a Communist paradigm.

Did Mass attendance rise or plummet? Did vocations increase or become dangerously low? Has the Faith of the laity increased or is it totally gone? To pretend that the Church is not at a crisis point is delusional.

Given this history, I'm confident that one day we will recognize just how offensive the present immoralities are to human dignity, and then put an end to them.

The result is that the majority of people who identify as "Catholic" are anything but a Catholic. Worldwide apostasy, unseen in the 2000 year history of the Church is the result of clergy and religious purposefully destroying the Faith of millions since Vatican II. And it keeps going on. Nobody cares what the Church used to teach. And the bishops do not uphold the truths of the Faith. They will be the first to march in a gay pride parade. That is why it's laughable for the media to portray the Catholic Church as this bastion of rules and faithfulness to doctrine, it is anything but that these days. That portrayal is right up there with them showing nuns in habits and priests wearing a collar buttoned and combed hair. The Church has been reduced to a haven of pedophiles and perverts and heretics. And the future looks dismal. This isn't being negative, it seeing reality clearly and without a filter.
