Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on new survey data profiling
Catholicism:
All we ever hear from the wild-eyed critics of the Catholic Church,
including the dissidents within, is that the Church had better "get with it"
and change its teachings on abortion, homosexuality and women's ordination.
Yet it is precisely those religious institutions that are the most liberal
on these issues—the mainline Protestant denominations—that are collapsing.
Not so the Catholic Church. Indeed, its numbers are going north while the
mainline denominations are going south.
The latest findings by the "Emerging Models of Pastoral Leadership" project,
a collaborative effort with Georgetown University's Center for Applied
Research in the Apostolate, are illuminating. In the last 40 years, the
Catholic population has increased by 75 percent; it has grown by 50 percent
since 1990. More important, Catholic attendance at Mass is up 15 percent
since 2000. And in the last five years, contributions have increased by 14
percent. It is also important to note that there has been a 40 percent
increase in Latinos in the Church over the past five years.
Shedding more light on the statistics is a study released a few months ago
by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion. Its "Landscape Survey" found
that of those Catholics who have left the Church, roughly half became
unaffiliated while the other half became Protestant. Regarding the latter
half, only 23 percent did so because of the Church's teachings on abortion
and homosexuality; only 16 percent left because of the way women are
treated. Importantly, two-thirds of these Catholics elected to join a
Protestant evangelical church.
In other words, disaffected Catholics who left for another religion opted to
join a more conservative church. That they did not run down the block in
search of a mainline denomination—one that entertains the liberal agenda on
issues governing sexuality and women—is telling.
It's time some people took a hard look at the data and made some hard
choices. This is great news for the Catholic Church.

Lets let those pentacostals like "Zacharias FishMug", being extremist
faux Xians, and those equally extremist Muslim's kill each other off
until only the sane are left alive.

What proof do you have that what you have is any more "THE TRUTH" than
what anyone else has?
Mere faith without facts, which is all you lot have yet shown, doesn't
convince those who respect facts more than faith.

number of people in a parish.
Putting it in a simple model for J.
Number of parishes in 1990 : 100
Average people per parish : 100
Number of parishes in 2010 : 66
Average people per parish : 151
A 50% increase in Catholics.
There are other modles but it is clear that worldwide the percentage of
Catholics is down.

Each sect tends to regard only themselves as Christian and all

to be the only thing about Christianity that they agree on - they
are all false except themselves. So should we accept this collective
agreement and regard all Christians as false and conclude Chrisitanity
no longer exists, never existed as they are or were all fakes?
Of course there is no reliable evidence that there ever was
a Christ as claimed (the gospel writers were also part of a Christian
sect too) and certainly nothing to show there is a god as
claimed.

Can you pick a couple of "sects" and show how they vary in their proclamation of
being THE "true Christian"? Now I'm not asking for some deep theological
answer, just something basic. Thanks.

Your line of thinking means that as soon as we find a person that wrote more
letters than George Washington, GW becomes one who never lived.
But the real question to you is: Did George washington sign or Declaration of
Independence or did his farm foreman sign it for him? And how do you know?

I'm not sure how you reached that conclusion, could you explain that?
My point is that we have no documentary evidence for Jesus, whereas we
have plenty for GW.
> But the real question to you is: Did George washington sign or Declaration of

I don't know, and I'm not putting the family farm on it, so it's not
particularly important to me to know.

Do you question the existence of George Washington?
The documentary, and other, evidence for the existence of George W. is ,
at least to me, much more compelling than that for Jesus of N.
