“Attendance has been down at my parish since he became Pope”
Well, I suppose that is offset by the world-wide uptick in Mass attendance since he became pope.
Uptick or downtick, the question is: Do the attendance figures correspond to an increase or a decline in the traditional faith? If attendance increased because the Church started showing porn movies during Mass, would that be a good thing?
Where is that? All statistics point to no influence at all, from Europe to Latin America - to America.
