The problem in my area is that the non-Anglo heirs to the parishes they inherit from them won’t contribute to the upkeep of the buildings (then bitch and moan when the parishes are closed due to deterioration).

Engaging immigrant populations in stewardship is a challenge, but Msgr. Pope (and my committee) would say it’s a challenge we have to undertake. Realistically, one element might be accepting a different attitude toward buildings. If a parish is - probably through no fault of anyone there - enslaved to its physical plant, that can be a major impediment to building a living and evangelical congregation in the present.
