“Called to BE Church”
Pure, phony, Kumbayaism! Up here there was a similar process and now all five parishes in the town are merged into one with a dwindling Sunday attendance. None of my oldest son’s (age 28) contemporaries, all Roman Catholics, attend Mass. The masses are populated with the 50+ and older crowd.
What’s growing are the fundy protestant groups (well, we are growing too though not with Roman Catholics, except through marriage). They are popping up like mushrooms and the congregations are full of former Latins. The sex scandals and trendy theology delivered by a series of looser bishops with openly gay minions has all but killed Roman Catholicism here. There’s a reason why it is said that the floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops.
