Most Catholics just want to go to Mass and take care of their families.

You and UR's "war" is something from a comic book.

Dream on. There are more and more casualties--on your side. Nobody buys the farce you pawn off as Catholicism.

"Most Catholics just want to go to Mass and take care of their families."

Not really.

"Fewer Catholics, 38 percent, report attending church on at least a weekly basis."

Was attendance at Mass higher or lower prior to Vatican II?

Although church attendance among Protestants has remained stable, Mass attendance has declined steadily from the 1950s, when 75 percent of Catholics went to church every weekend, to now, when only one-third attend weekly. This decline has been steeper among younger cohorts (only about one-quarter of today’s young adults attend weekly) than older ones (about 60 percent of whom still attend weekly).
