The rank apostasy of the Church doesn’t help much with revealing the beauty of Christ to unbelievers. It’s actually repulsive what much of what is called “the Church” does today.
I think the fact that many of these people are of Irish descent probably means that many of them were from families that were Catholic...until the Church became the feminized, heresy-polluted, feel-good, Dem party annex that it is today in many dioceses.
