Catholic ping!
Given the hostility to Christian faith in the schools and media, it’s hardly surprising. What is surprising is that most Christian parents keep giving their kids over to such influences for their upbringing.
The church became increasingly feminized and now homosexualized which is a big turn off to the male species. When everything is acceptable then nothing has moral value.
This is probably a good thing. It means that “cultural Christianity” is dying and only the remnant who are real disciples of Jesus Christ are left. I think it’s all part of God’s plan so that when Jesus does return, no one is going to be standing there saying, “but I went to church. Why do you say that you do not know me?”
The days of choosing a church for the quality of the coffee, the color of the carpet, and the availability of child care are drawing to a close.
Would 89% to 92% be within a margin or error?
I would think people do not give up their belief so easily. What they do is unwittingly allow their belief to be corrupted, thus revealing that their belief may not be so solid.
Good. Christianity is not a religion, it’s a relationship with Christ.
Yet another reason we deserve President B.O. and the rest of the “leaders” in DC.
The various denominations arent taking Christianity seriously, so why should young people?
Islam (sadly), Hinduism, and Buddhists havent turned into plastic knock-offs of what their religions are, so is it any shock that they gain members while the cowards in the non-orthadox christian churches are losin millions?
These are the famous “spiritual but not religious” people.
I see that now in the Filipino community, for decades they held many of the churches together, especially in the inner city. They would lead devotions and would be active in the many religious events.
Now that their children have married and moved on, I no longer see Filipino’s under the age of 40 active in their parish. Most don’t attend mass at all. Divorce rates are higher.
