I've never known a Catholic church to have Sunday School for adults, which I gather is fairly common among Protestants. Catholic Sunday Schools are for children.

Yes, I realize that. I just posted so that it was clear what Barna was trying to say.
I don’t put a whole lot of stock into what they are saying though.

Many Protestant churches do not have adult Sunday schools either. Instead of Sunday school for adults our church does small groups. Same thing - different time and place.

I doubt if ANY devout Catholics would agree. I think I can mostly agree with you on this, with the exception of "inerrency/infallibility of scripture" issues. The Catholic Church doesn't promote that as vigorously as Protestant (and some Evangelical) churches do, to their shame.
Ask your FR PRACTICING CATHOLIC friends.
The problem with asking them is that they will tell me that A) only Real Genuinetm Catholics should be counted as Catholic, while simultaneously telling me that B) there are 68+ million Catholics living in the United States right now and that C) there are 33,000 "Protestant denominations" who all hold "mutually exclusive doctrines". Oh, and all Protestants read "Jack Chick" comics.
In short, my Catholic friends on FR have a tendency to exaggerate wildly (if not just make up numbers out of whole cloth) whenever it benefits their case. They are credulous to a fault when it comes to Protestantism, and (most of) their credibility with me is shot to zero. I rarely take them seriously about anything anymore. They are a myopic subset that thinks they have a better handle on Catholicism than their own bishops do.

Yes, I realize that.I guess I should have made it clear that I was directing that to Suzy.
It's like jargon in a technical article, Suze. Jargon terms have specific definitions that might not be related to common usage of the same words. Born again has a particular definition within the "Barna universe" that it might not have outside that universe.

Well, we always used the term “Sunday School” for those religious education classes for public school children, generally scheduled for after the children’s Mass. Granted, for the past 20 or 30 years, the church bulletin refers to it as CCD. I still say “Sunday School” — that’s what it was when I went, and that’s what I called it when I taught it.

Hey, but we do recycle! Al Gore would be proud of us.
On a more serious note, how many folks of other religious denominations are in church worshiping God everyday? There were quite a few at noon Mass today, and probably even more at the 0800 Mass.

I go to a nondenominational church, but it is about as Southern Baptist as you can get. Our pastor even works for the SBC teaching church planting.

Hey, but we do recycle! I was wondering where that question came from. I guess with so many liberal denominations adopting green issues environmentalism is becoming a matter of faith. Go figure.

CCD is different. You mean it's not religious instruction for children?
To: maryz
Other than adult catechism classes for converts & unbaptized adults, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of adult Sunday school. I think most Protestant churches have Bible study groups & maybe some of them meet on Sundays, but they aren’t “Sunday school”. Sunday school is for children.
