Barna recently reported:

"For the first time in decades, younger adults—Gen Z and Millennials—are now the most regular churchgoers, outpacing older generations, who once formed the backbone of church attendance ...

"Millennials and Gen Z are driving a resurgence in church attendance. As reports emerge of spiritual interest, rising faith activity, signs of revival—including Barna’s analysis of the recent rise in commitments to Jesus—churchgoing frequency is another improving trend among Millennials and Gen Z in the U.S ... 

"The headline: Millennials and Gen Z Christians are attending church more frequently than before and much more often than are older generations. The typical Gen Z churchgoer now attends 1.9 weekends per month, while Millennial churchgoers average 1.8 times—a steady upward shift since the lows seen during the pandemic."

(The average church attendance for older adults is 1.6, according to Barna.)

The Barna report confirms what has been a growing recognition in media representing diverse political and ideological perspectives. Consider the following:

I’d like to ask the democrat base & leadership a question.

Is there anyway you can double down on this woke stuff?

If this is a nationwide trend it is catastrophic for the rats. They have doubled down on the 20 side of the 80-20 issues which would put then squarely against these young people.

I am Catholic, so I only see what’s happening in my group. Young people are heading to the Traditional Latin Mass in droves. My doctrinally orthodox college, Christencom, has grown from 120 students to around 600, with no sacrifice of doctrinal orthodoxy.

I would imagine that the ebbing of televangelists, and to a lesser degree, the Mega churches, is a good thing for evangelical Christianity. The idea of individual believers on fire with a love of Christ sharing their Faith is likely a better witness to Faith than a man on a TV screen.

Boomers forgot about church and their children were marginally exposed to religion. The pendulum is swinging. That’s a Good Thing

“ Have you heard about the seismic shift in one of the key demographic groups that will shape American culture….”

And seven paragraphs in this writer has still not told us what he’s talking about.

The failure is with the writer, not the excerpt, per se.

Get rid of blue-city Democrat electoral fraud via mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting and dirty rolls, and it will be a red landslide everywhere.

Our Bishop has banished the TLM to the smallest church in the diocese. Of course, it's still packed to the gills, with people sitting in the vestibule for Sunday masses.

The politics and bureaucratic suppression of the TLM is disheartening

Say what the “seismic shift” is in the first paragraph.

In small part thanks to William Lane Craig and Alvin Plantinga.

So what EXACTLY is your point then? Are we to be treated to yet another Protestant diatribe about "The Whore of Babylon?".

Save it for the rebels, we've all heard it already. MANY times.

Should we not be CELEBRATING the resurgence of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ? Why would someone sully this GOOD NEWS with an underhanded swipe at another Christian group?

Yup, just like when I say I am an American, I mean the USA, even though some Canadians think that anyone in North or South American can claim the name.

I believe that my Roman Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ, and that the term Catholic, referring to that Faith, was in use at least as early as St. Ignatius of Antioch in 108 AD.

If you want to simply describe your Faith as "catholic", as in "universal", you can use a small "c" just as we do when we talk about "Republican" versus "republican".
