Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a God who knew the way out of the grave.” — G.K.Chesterton

If these people are true believers, this is great; if they dissent from the Church on major positions, it is meaningless. I’m shocked at how many self-professed “Catholics” openly and publicly disagree with the Church on divorce/remarriage, artificial birth control, even the concepts of mortal sin/Hell. Nobody’s perfect, but I find it odd they wear their religion on their sleeve while this dissent spills from their lips.

I don’t have the same account. It’s true that churches are not as empty as described by some who want to push the atheist-godless-Europe narrative. But are they packed each Sunday in big cities, definitively not! Besides, there is a huge number of churches here in France, and the number of ministers to run them is abysmally insufficient.
