Re : #3 ~ “Why Catholics are leaving the faith by age 10”

Is the answer because at 11 they’ll be called upon to be altar boys? ~

NOT funny, you should be ashamed of yourself...

Sorry, but I’m not.

I went to a Catholic university and our dorm priest frequently bedded down with young men seemingly every weekend.

No apology forthcoming.

Sorry.

Hey hetero, my friend, at our parish we have altar servers from age 8 to well into college.

It is different at your parish?

And is there some reason you wish to expose the service of the altar to public scorn?

And being an altar boy, and then an acolyte are the first steps into the world of the priesthood.

FYI, Fourth graders and older can be altar boys.

Light ten candles and say 20 Hail Marys...
