Vatican II is the one and only cause for the demise of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Church attendance went from 74% to 26% should tell Church officials that something is wrong. Vatican II destroyed everything the Church stood for and no one in the Worldwide Bishopric has any idea what the problem is.

PUL-EEZE. Are you an expert on Vatican II? Somehow I doubt it.

Also I don't know the sources of your statistics. They are lies, more lies and statistics.
"Lies, damned lies, and statistics" is a phrase describing the persuasive power of numbers, particularly the use of statistics to bolster weak arguments. It is also sometimes colloquially used to doubt statistics used to prove an opponent's point. Sir Charles Dilke

==================================

Vatican II destroyed everything the Church stood for and no one in the Worldwide Bishopric has any idea what the problem is.
My, my, my.
All this anger based on your limited research by the equally angry.

You ought to get down on your KNEES and pray to our good Lord in GRATITUDE for being born in the greatest country this planet has ever seen since the Roman Empire.
The Roman Empire lasted 507 years. The British Empire lasted 90 years.

The Empire of Rome [CATHOLIC CHURCH] is still going strong today.
Since the Empire was founded in 27 BC, that gives us a lifespan of 507 years.
However, the Eastern Roman empire, which split off from the Western Roman Empire in the 300s, lasted much longer than that, finally getting conquered and dissolved in 1453.

Add the years of the Eastern Roman Empire and you come up with impressive numbers. I doubt that you will be impressed because your rage seems to be blocking out any message that is contrary to your message of anger and rage.

Deus sit apud vos!

The British Empire lasted much longer than 90 years, even by a conservative understanding of the word, "Empire". Up to 25% of the world's land mass was at one time under control of England, something that would have been simply impossible to achieve in just 90 years.

If one considers the Allied victory at the end of WWII to be the commencement of the American Empire (as WWII certainly marked the end of the British Empire), then the United States would be quite fortunate to see a 90th anniversary of its place at the top.
