The reason its not a crisis is evangelicals, baptists in particular, divorce at a rate higher than anyone in the nation. Much easier focusing on the other guys sins.

You're right, "everyone's doing it" but at least the Catholic Church still teaches that divorce is wrong while the vast majority of non-Catholics gradually accept and excuse whatever becomes widely accepted in society.

At least the people who stay in the Catholic Church know what sin is even if they're as guilty as anyone else of divorce, remarriage, and even contraception.

The people who leave do so because they want to go along to get along without hearing the Truth about sin and how Jesus Christ expects us to follow Him rather than society. The people who stay and defy Church Doctrine are just your run of the mill hypocrite you can find anywhere in any group but at least they still hear the Truth from time to time rather than hearing, "I was sinking deep in sin, Wheeeeeeeeee, what fun and I'm forgiven in advance".

The vast majority of those who leave the Catholic Church leave because they can't stand the heat of the Truth.

They can make up all sorts if excuses, blame individuals in he Church who fail to do as they should, or even repeat the lies about Catholicism and claim the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Jesus Christ Himself founded is wrong but the fact remains; they won't be bothered with the whole Truth in any other Church. They join the non-Catholics who claim to be Christian because with rare exceptions those non-Catholic folks and their tens of thousands of churches all gradually adapt to whatever is socially acceptable.
