That has not been my experience, AT ALL.
If what you say is true, how come the number of Catholics is growing, dramatically, every year? Over 200,000 people came into the Catholic Church in the United States last year. That's pretty impressive.
Believe me, many of those 200,000 have had to fight their way in. I have had Orthodox and Protestant friends who wanted to become Catholic and were told to stay with their own churches because the local liberal parish didn't believe in making - shudder - converts. Truth never entered into the equation; but then, liberals are not particularly interested in the truth.
Converts practically have to fight to get into the Church.

Yes, but those converts 1)had to initiate the process themselves and 2)are over-educated high-@ssed individuals who won't embarrass your Church (which can't stand the thought of American white trash but thinks illiterate Hispanics in New Mexico who crucify themselves are just darling little things).
Your Church has no use for and would be embarrassed by simple people who believe the universe was created in six days. Now, liquefying blood or bilocation or saints who slew dragons are a different matter!
