I am hopeful for the future of the church. Most Catholics I know are embarrassed by the current pope. My daughter attends a Catholic church in her college town. Every mass is packed with college kids. Even the early mass on Sunday.
How many of those college kids follow the Church on those “inconvenient” matters — cohabitation and birth control? Are they in a State of Grace when receiving Holy Communion? I’m wondering if they are as Catholic as they think they are.
What college is that?
