[Cath Cauc] THIS IS NOT A VERY ENCOURAGING PICTURE OF AMERICAN CATHOLICISIM

THIS IS NOT A VERY ENCOURAGING PICTURE OF AMERICAN CATHOLICISIM

The below Study has now been completed. The data was collected from April 1 through November 30, 2018. All told, there are samples from 15 states located all over the USA map. I have someone helping me from a statistical view to help break down the findings in a more analytically approved method.

To the layman, the differences are quite striking. In 1960 about 80% of Catholics were going to weekly Mass and now it is 99% for the TLM and 22% for the Novus Ordo. Most of my numbers were gathered post 2018 scandal. There has been a visible drop in Mass attendance among the Novus Ordo attendees from the 22% of 2016. How much we’ll only know in a few years when the 2018 Novus Ordo numbers become available. The TLM numbers were not affected by the scandal since the vast majority of the 1700+ samples were taken after September 1st.

The birth rate of 3.6 is just below the 1960 birthrate of all USA women of 3.65, but significantly higher than the 2.3 of the average Novus Ordo woman. The monetary giving in the collection has got to turn heads. The TLM attendees give 5 times what their Novus Ordo counterparts give (6% vs. 1.2%).

Blessed and fruitful Advent, Fr. Kloster

The TLM is celebrated only 2-3 times a month in my area (visiting priests), and I usually am frustrated on Christmas (including this year) because no TLM on that date. But then others have no local TLM ever so I can’t feel too deprived.

Are you a practicing Catholic?

This is a Catholic caucus.

So much for the bishops' wide exercise of Pope Benedict's Summorum Pontificum, huh?

I went to the link and found what the abbreviations referred to...

You could have done that in the first place. Did you ever think of that?

I'm not your secretary.

I see you're not even a Catholic, let alone a practicing Catholic.

Please honor the caucus.

P.S. Only practicing Catholics are allowed to post on catholic caucuses.

Yes, just stick your head into the FSSP parishes and you will see they are overflowing with children who are NOT being molested by gay priests.

The future is with tradition and orthodoxy. The Holy Spirit has no interest in liberalism, socialism, communism, liberation theology, scientism, arianism, etc.
