And yes, the churchs exclusive theological claims and stringent moral message dont go over well in a multicultural, sexually liberated society. But the example of Catholicisms rivals suggests that the church might well be much worse off if it had simply refashioned itself to fit the prevailing values of the age. Thats what the denominations of mainline Protestantism have done, across the last four decades and instead of gaining members, theyve dwindled into irrelevance. Says it all, ping!
