Loss of faith in God, or abandonment of a corrupt ecclesiastical hierarchy?
The two are not the same Msgr Pope.

So important a statement that I thought it bore repeating.

I believe our country’s moral direction is dictated by our Commander in Chief. Since the days of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama- who both exhibited no moral character and instead embraced social perversion as the norm, our country’s moral compass has been adrift. Neither one of these “men” have ever shown grace, morality, or any other traits synonymous with great character. We are seeing the evidence now of having 8 years of “your country is not great, it is the cause of a lot of ills yada yada yada’ spewed from the lips of Obama and reinforced in every policy he ever endorsed. We have a younger generation that does not feel pride in our great country- which makes them less inclined to defend it and/or our founding principles. This creates a situation where what we have long fought for is easily discarded by our youth- and pilfered and destroyed by those who do not share our values or virtues. Spiritually, these two “men” have led the way far from churches and the important life lessons taught there. Instead of having the ideas of self-sacrifice for a better good instilled, we have the ideas of selfishness and all the heartaches that sin causes. Clinton and Obama did more damage to this country than many of us will ever realize. Donald Trump has done great things, and I thank God every day he is our President. He understands the importance of church and has started to show that side of a leader we have had lacking for so long. Prayerfully our citizens will follow him back to church and back to a better society.

Some think it is.

I'm with you. Closing big mainline churches that have abandoned the veracity of Scripture is no loss.

They should have closed a long time ago if they decided that Scripture could not be trusted or believed.
