The article , quite understandably, focusses on internal - RCC personnel and practices. However, it’s helpful in trying to understand this to consider also the larger picture. The “liberalized” or left-wing Protestant denominations have seen a decline which is, if anything, even more pronounced as the RCC. Almost the same with “reform” Jewish congregations - poor participation rates. There is good strong participation and growth going on -— but pretty much only on the more Bible- based Protestant and Jewish denominations. Not in the more “liberal” worldly, leftist churches. Conclusion: lots of people may want leftist politicians in government, but many of them do NOT want leftist politicians running their churches and synagogues. These millions of people still recognize or believe that God is not a communist. Or? Your thoughts most welcome, that’s the best I can do now , ha!!

This is in line with my observations as well.

We have five different Bible studies going on at our Catholic Church. (Four in English; one in Spanish.)

Our parish is definitely growing by leaps and bounds.
