My parish is flourishing. Of course, Easter season is usually better attended, but even before Easter the pews were always full. However, I did notice an increase in attendance after 9/11 ... but I haven't noticed a drop off yet.
Are the Catholics on FR dominated by Orthodox Catholics? What exactly does that mean? I'm not orthodox in the sense of the church I attend, but I'm pretty conservative about doctrine and teachings. But I didn't think that it was out of the norm to think that abortion is murder, that homosexuality is wrong, and that Catholics shouldn't use contraceptives.
I use "orthodox Catholic" rather than "conservative Catholic" because "conservative" carries so much political baggage. "Traditional Catholic" would also be a good term.
Anyway, Catholics who think that homosexuality and abortion are wrong may be in the majority. Catholics who think that the use of artificial contraception is wrong are in the minority.
