The plummeting numbers on religious faith are the real factor IMHO.

I have seen some numbers on church attendance, baptisms and financial support in my Catholic diocese. All have cratered in the past fifteen years.

A Methodist Church in our area closed recently and is now a Buddhist Temple. Another is about to close, being down to just 18 members in the congregation.

None of this is good for the country.

Of course not.

When we look at today’s Christian leaders we see a reason for the morass. A communist pope. Female and oftentimes lesbian priestesses. A feel-good policy for churches that are all-inclusive and welcoming homosexuals, lesbians and other perverts.

Something is going to fill that void.

Catholic Church attendance and financial support are strong here — they had to add a parallel Easter Mass in the gym — but what you say is probably true in mamy areas of the country. We seem to be one of the few remaining holdouts of “the way things were”, generally.
