I've lived in Boston. Believe me, those churches are dead.

This is not true in rural areas. I am from rural Ohio and know of several small parishes that are being consolidated, closed and closed for the money.

These parishes are small but active. The members (many elderly) now will have to drive many miles to attend services.

There comes a time when money does come in to play. If the collection isn’t enough to pay the bills then the parish gets closed. A good Catholic will drive many miles to attend Mass.
