Starkehaus: Is it a mystery that Chicago Catholics have given up on their religion?
By Irene F. Starkehaus -
The January edition of Chicago Magazine explores the question, “Why is Chicago losing its Catholics?” This article by Elizabeth Fenner is the exactly formulaic reaction that one might expect from progressivist publication that has enjoyed watching a conservative Pope resign from office to be replaced with a progressivist Holy See and a conservative Cardinal of Chicago resign to be replaced with a progressivist Archbishop.
With all due candor, Catholic Leftists (which is an oxymoron if I ever did hear one…Marx was a jealous god that didn’t believe in sharing power) have their pied pipers in place, and it is time for members of an obedient media to write the script for the new collectivist mandates.
Why are Chicago Catholics leaving the Church? Well, it’s clear from Chicago Magazine and from other sources in the mainstream media that Chicagoans and Americans as a whole are just too darned cosmopolitan for the small thinking of traditional Catholicism, which holds humanity back from its real potential by setting standards of proper conduct when it should be busying itself with social and environmental justice. Where does the Church get off anyway? It’s filled with sinners and hypocrites. The world is changing and the Church must change with it. So it is written in Chicago Magazine’s opinion poll, so it must be done.
