Yet America's turn may be coming. At the top of the list is a looming generational shift among the nation's bishops, whose decisions at the local level greatly affect Catholics in the pews and can carry national weight. For instance, church leaders recently closed parishes in Boston and New York, while the St. Louis archbishop has clashed with a heavily Polish parish over control of its assets.

I think the author is simply repeating words he doesn't understand, like me singing a song in Polish.

And he uses "different than" instead of the correct "different from." I can't stand that.

I should check the First Things website to see what Fr. Richard has to say. He is usually shy and retiring, but we may get a quote from him!
