I'm not so pessimistic.
Non-Denominational churches are growing at the same time the anti-Scripture Protestant churches are dying. The RCC is already an empty husk. It's membership rolls are questionable for a lot of reasons and what membership it maintains in the USA is due to immigration, legal & illegal. Latin immigrants are predominantly RC, but increasingly are seeking the Truth and leaving this sect.
Wisconsin is a huge turning point. A traditionally left leaning state has started to take control of it's govt workers instead of just raising taxes. The elections in 2010 are going to continue in 2012 and the "moderate" Pubs may get a POTUS that is a moderate Pub, but the House and Senate will be more conservative.
Demographically you will see the RC's concentrated in the declining number of blue states and the Evangelicals will be found in the growing number of red states.
The future is ours.

AMEN, William!
