The facts are that we members of the Church are mostly living spiritually empty lives. Facts show that virtually all Catholics are living in an objective state of mortal sin.

I'm not..

No one goes to confession anymore

I do..very rare for me to take Holy Communion without confession...

The Church has collapsed everywhere.

I disagree...

I applaud you. And I only wish there were more like you. If I start to see people staying in the pews at communion time, then I'll know that maybe the Holy Spirit is working in people's souls again.

There is a great deal of generalization going on here...one can't look at their own parish or even surrounding parishes or news pertaining to certain areas...its not the same elsewhere...I live within 15 mins of 7 Catholic Churches...St Margrets, St. Bartholomews, St Patricks, Our Lady Of the Gulf, St Johns, Christ the King, and one other I've never attended...

Our Priests renew their vows each month and pledge their obedience to the Pope...Just tonight I saw my Priest earlier downtown...I have access to him 24/7...all the Priests have confession before Mass, some are very active in the Pro-life movement and go to the abortion clinics and pray the rosary...the parish I belong the unborn are always included in the Mass, we build gyms, recreation centers, we have Holy Hour every Sunday, men's baseball team, german fests, extra adult education classes, films etc..youth groups, dinners, Sunday dinners...we have choirs, not drums,...
