” Roughly 60 percent of Americans raised as Catholics are no longer practicing Catholics”

Well one day they’ll regret it. The other 40% is still 50 times bigger than any other Christian denomination in the country. The Catholic Church is not for wimps. Takes a man to be a good Catholic.

I always have to laugh when people degrade the number of Catholics.

We have four Masses every weekend when most Protestant churches only have one service.

Saturday at 5:30 — Church is usually 3/4 full
Sunday at 8:15 — completely full and bursting into the vestibule
Sunday at 10:30 — completely full and packed in and bursting into the vestibule
Sunday at 12:30 — completely full and packed in like sardines and bursting out onto the sidewalk entrance most Sundays.

And they dare to question? LOL!

I will bet that this scene is pretty much repeated in every Catholic Church. One of our Catholic Churches here in town (yes, in Oregon) has 10 or 11 Masses......I lost count so am not sure on that number.

And they dare to question?
