Apologies for the double post.
Yes, the Church bears a lot of the responsibility for this. They distracted Catholic voters with issues like “social justice”, but those voters became very comfortable with picking & choosing and now can’t even be expected to attend Mass. Now the only people attending Mass are those orthodox Catholics that want to save their souls from Hell and women who think they’ll be the pastor someday...
The Catholic Church showed that it is safe for politicians to abuse the Church with NO repercussions; this doesn’t bode well for the future of the Church.
