The Roman Catholics are doing just fine with American membership. They are growing at a slow rate. Now you look at churches like the Presbyterian Church USA or the United Church of Christ. They are quickly losing members. And somehow, the media is saying the Catholics should be more like the Presbyterian Church USA?
The liberal media constantly challenges the doctrine of the Catholic Church but are suspiciously quiet about islam. Women’s rights, for example, is quite limited according to the koran. Haven’t we heard that dying for allah will result in 72 virgins waiting for the murderer in heaven? What does that say about the value of muslim women. However, Jesus was adorned by women and had a strong female following during his time on earth. His message for women was this: “wives be subject to your husbands, and husbands love your wife as Christ loved the church and gave his life for her.” I think the liberal media hates the Catholic church because they hate Jesus Christ who is the focal point of the Catholic faith.
