My own church has so many divorced Catholics that they organized a perpetual novena.

We have no particular reason to reject that form of prayer.

My church used to get all their new members from people who had fallen away from various protestant churches. Now new members come mostly from people who fell away from catholic churches—and now feel a need to return to the church—however, for whatever reason—they don’t feel that the catholic church is their church home.

(I don’t think all the news is bad for catholics. I’ve heard recently that American catholic seminaries have cleaned up their act and they’re getting a lot of conservative seminarians. as well, the number of catholics in the USA is increasing—however,the reason for the increase in membership is not because of conversion or family growth— but rather because of immigration)
