The same thing is going to happen to American Catholic Churches. However it will not be due to conservative-liberal underpinnings. It will be due to the fact that the church has done little to engage children and young adults. I look at my church on Sunday and it is filled with gray hair.

That and the fact that the Church has done little to make itself appealing to MEN of any age.

It's a lot worse in Europe.

What should the church do to appeal to young people?

I see that liberalism didn't really help much. things changed a lot in the 70's and 80's and it didn't seem to help much.
