Didn't Savage just say that the abuse scandal had prompted a wholesale exodus?

This can't be right.

The churches in Boston (loads of scandals) are so empty that a fly buzzing across the church can be distracting.

The churches in Virginia (biggest scandal was with an adult woman), the churches have over 1000 seats, six masses per weekend, and people piled up out the door.

It all depends where you are.
