Thus the majority of American Catholics are wrong. There was once a time when most of Europe was Arian; that didn't make them right.
I'm going to echo what ArrogantBustard, sitetest, and others are saying. Healthy doses of traditional piety and orthodoxy produce vocations to the priesthood and religious life, while modernist nonsense does not.
The Church spoke. The issue is closed. Those who follow what the Church teaches seem to be growing and flourishing, while those who do not are graying and dying out.
I'm going to ask you an honest question, and I would appreciate an honest answer: How do you explain the trends we point out, which are completely contrary to the position you support?
Firstly, I haven’t seen any of you provide statistics to support your claims. All the available numbers suggest, time and again, that church attendance is dropping, there are fewer priests every year, and Catholic schools are in crisis and closing in great numbers.
I don’t dispute there’s an enthusiastic bunch of fundamentalist Catholics in the world, but they are a tiny minority (who may indeed be the last ones standing eventually), and their existence has not stopped or slowed large-scale attrition.
Do you realize that, to the Religion of Democracy, our belief is blasphemous? How can the majority be wrong? According to Democracy, Majority Vote is the only determiner of Truth. That's why the founders of this great Republic founded a Republic, not a Democracy ... they knew the danger of unfetterd Public Opinion.
