Importing too many Muslims. Not enough Catholics reproducing.
Catholics are reproducing, just not in the old cities of the northeast and the Midwest. Parishes are growing in the south and southwest, where businesses are growing. Massive infrastructure in churches and schools in inner cities cannot be sustained. New parishes and buildings are needed elsewhere. It is a challenge and a sadness for the ever-dwindling number of people whose families have generations-long relationships with closing NE city parishes.
“Importing too many Muslims. Not enough Catholics reproducing”
I guess that’s it in a nutshell.
Catholics themselves to blame. If the statistics are right, a good number of Catholics vote Dem, and presumably helped elect 0bama.
And due to contraception and abortion, far less offspring are available to carry on the Faith. Both against Church teaching.
This has zero to do with Muslims.
Young people are less into Catholicism and others have drifted away.
