“the bad news is that the young are converting to Protestantism, where they can hear sermons on Jesus and not the environment.”
Hearing sermons on Jesus is bad news... how?
The problem is that many of these churches are prosperity gospel or churches that have entertaining services that resemble happy concerts instead of prayer.
Sometimes those who confront tragedy find they can't be happy all the time as their charismatic church seems to insist, so they end up rejecting any religion.
we are in a rural area and I have heard only one sermon on the environment, probably because most of those attending the early mass that I attend are workers in the Palenke or are tricycle drivers or work as domestic helpers. In other words, the poor. The protestants tend to be middle class.
