Jesus Himself from what the Gospels tell us and from how many were at the foot of His Cross, is one clue. Another clue is that there is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.5 billion people who call themselves Catholics in the world (many of whom are only nominal Catholics), with a total population of 7.2 billion people, which isn't too far from 22-30%. Both of these statistics would indicate that who does and who doesn't go to church is not the limiting factor. Do you live your life and conduct yourself as a shining light as did Pope St. John Paul II? One of the prime requirements of canonization is to have evidenced, not just virtue, but heroic virtue. Heroic virtue gets plenty of notice, even by the bad guy. Live as Pope St. John Paul II did and love as he did, and you will have done your part. He imitated Christ. He lived by the primitive rule that Jesus, by His Life, gave to mankind. It's not possible to outdo Jesus and still not force anyone's free will. So keep your light where people can see it and your log where people can feel it.

ince May 29, 2017 Trad: I have some good news for you. I have previously posted how most Catholic churches I attend in both IL and GA are pro-gay, abortion friendly, and preach Obamanomics from the pulpit.

But today the Black Priest at St Joseph in Marietta GA gave a sermon that was a coherent view of Catholic and Christian theology on HEALTH, using the Trinity as the backdrop. It was well thought out. Without mentioning the political debate over healthcare, he totally refuted the leftist secular “scientific” approach to health.
