You pretty much impeached your grasp of statistics in your defense of the bogus Pew Report study conclusions on the "shrinking church". You probably want to stick to other types of arguments.

Whose statistics? Where do they come from? The same source as the non Christian beliefs that you are peddling? Which 40% of what Catholics where?
Funny isn't it, how when you're debating someone and not agreeing with the person, that your problem is that you don't understand it.
The implication being that if you "really" understood it, you'd agree with your opponent, because their side and their opinion is so compelling you couldn't help yourself. Therefore any disagreement is due to ignorance, not choice.
And the RF isn't the only place I've seen that mentality.
The more one participates in the Church through her ministries, Bible studies, prayer groups and charity, the closer one is and the more one knows, understands and accepts the faith as preserved, protected and handed down by the Church.
A Catholic is as responsible for their own faith as any other Christian and is not immune to the false teachings they hear outside the Church.
The closer one is to the things of God, the further away they are to the things of this world.
I have never heard a single one of you give a coherent, much less accurate, account of the Catholic teaching on the Eucharist, while many of the arguments you all triumphantly present as devastating refutations show only that you all don't know what it is.
