[Dr. Eckleburg]

I hate to break this to you, but those people whom you think left the Catholic Church are really still Catholics — although they may not be practicing the faith at this time. When they were baptized a Catholic it was for life. They join famous people like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck — also non=practicing Catholics.

That kind of hubris is why Rome is bleeding membership.

It's like telling an ex-democrat, now Republican, that he is really still a democrat.

No, he's not. Men change. Often for the better, God willing.
