Here in the USA's big cities, we also have a flood of CLOSING CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.

I don’t go to my Catholic church anymore either. Let the illegals they love so much support them.

You are, however, still a Catholic. “Remember to keep holy the Lord’s Day.” — Wasn’t that one of the Commandments?

A big reason for this is that people in Europe just don’t go to church in big numbers anymore. There is simply no need for so many houses of worship if people aren’t going to worship in the first place.

This trend is hitting America too.

And we wonder why, when Western Civilization is all about “I” and “Me”, when we above all others should KNOW it’s about HIM.

Christians are not under the law...

Rom_11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

Gal 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

You trying to rob this person of God's grace???

I too moved to a church that does not support multi-cultural events.

I do not want to be a racist, because in my heart I know it is sinful to be one, but as a honky I feel more at home among honkies. What’s wrong with that?

Poodles prefer to be among poodles, beagles among beagles and dachshunds among their kind.

Besides, why should an American Catholic Church celebrate a Mass where parts are read in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Tagalog?

Then why not in Latin, the official language of the CC, as it used to be?

Yes, Western Man is totally divided into often squabbling groups; i.e. men vs. women, rich vs. poor, armed vs. disarmed, Christian vs. non Christian etc. etc. Christianity once symbolized a unified people.

Please don’t walk away from Jesus because of the corruption and fecklessness of the catholic church. You don’t need Mary, the “saints” or priests. You only need to go directly to the Lord.

When you turn off the light the room goes dark.
As the Europeans to away from God, that void will be filled by the death cult of Islam. Europe may cease to exit within the next 50 years........

The West took poison in the late 1950’s, when it allowed to be overrun by non-Westerners without demanding that they accept Western culture.

The poison is now taking effect and neither the West nor its immigrants will profit from this change.

The maxim that “our strength is in our diversity” is nothing but a bunch of liberal BS.

The Greatest Generation proved it.

At some point, there's gonna be a Catholic posting that their church, and only their church, is full of feck.

I would echo that.

Churchianity has done more damage to the cause of Christ than anything and the Catholic church is not alone in that, sad to say.

Pursue God for Himself. Read His word and ask Him to speak to you through it.

He will NEVER turn away a heart that is seeking after Him.
