Red, I have to agree with most of your conclusions. However, I’d like to add another reason for the decline of marriage in the middle class. It seems to me that a large portion of blame belongs in the pulpit (if they are used anymore) and the failure of today’s ministers to lead their flocks and hold them morally accountable. Pastors today are shadows compared to the leading lights of Christian preachers years ago. They preached the Word, and made sure that their congregations knew what God asked of them. Most of today’s churches are more concerned with their bottom lines and how contemporary their music is. For what it’s worth...
So very true. Priests nowadays are eager to embrace every leftist cause and completely silent when it comes to Christianity. It’s all a disgusting form of vanity where the priests are more worried about whether the leftists say they are good or bad then actually doing good. -Or even defining what is good and evil based on Christian morality.
It’s the very reason I don’t go to church.
You’re right.
