Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on some recent surveys
on religion and morality:


The moral state of America is in deep trouble. That’s not an
opinion—it’s what the American people believe.

In March, a Marist poll, conducted for Deseret News titled, “Faith in
America,” found that 72 percent of Americans think the nation’s moral
compass is pointed in the wrong direction.

In June, a Gallup poll revealed that a record-high 50 percent of
Americans rated the overall state of moral values as “poor,” and
another 37 percent said it was “only fair.” The public is also
pessimistic about the future: 78 percent say morals are getting worse.

Why is this? While the surveys did not tap this measure directly, the
Gallup poll asked respondents to name the most important moral problem
in the country today. It was open-ended, i.e., they did not select
from a list of moral issues—they simply voiced what they believed to
be the most important one.

Six issues garnered a double-digit response. “Consideration of others”
topped the list, followed by “racism/discrimination,” “lack of faith
or religion,” “lack of morals,” “sense of entitlement,” and “lack of
family structure.” These responses in 2022 were compared to those in
2012.

Ten years ago, “consideration of others” was not even mentioned, and
“racism/discrimination” was barely cited. Regarding the latter, given
the steady drumbeat emanating from the media, the schools and the
corporations that America is irredeemably racist, it is hardly
surprising to learn that racial matters have deteriorated. We reap
what we sow.

When we pair “consideration of others” with a “sense of entitlement,”
we have a strong indictment of radical individualism. Selfishness and
narcissism are commonplace: from texting while driving to character
assaults online, our society has been badly coarsened. The “Me
Society” that Tom Wolfe talked about in the 1970s has never been more
pronounced.

What about the other three issues? “Lack of faith or religion,” “lack
of morals,” and “lack of family structure” make for an interesting
cluster. The first and last are not effects of a moral breakdown—they
are causes of it.

The American people intuitively know that religious beliefs and
practices are an important ingredient in the formation of a moral
society. The same is true of families where there is a father and a
mother. In fact, the data bear them out—religion and intact families
matter greatly.

The Marist poll found that 70 percent of Americans believe in God
(more than half citing God as described in the Bible), and that figure
jumps to 85 percent if we include those who believe in a higher power.
The Gallup poll found that 81 percent of Americans believe in God,
down significantly from 1944 when the figure was 98 percent.

This is not a coincidence: The increase in secularism accounts for our
moral slide. The public knows it.

A Rasmussen poll taken in March found that 60 percent of voters think
people who live according to their religious beliefs are good role
models for the rest of us to follow; only 14 percent did not believe
this; 26 percent weren’t sure.

The American people know that our moral compass is going in the wrong
direction, and they also know that the declining role of religion has
something to do with it.

When the Judeo-Christian ethos that has undergirded our society
enervates—it used to form the heart of our moral code—it perpetuates a
condition where our moral compass is directed more by individual whim
than sacred tenets. That is a recipe for disaster.

Because druggies like you refuse to work, using your welfare money to fuel your habits of substance abuse and hateful trolling with racist and anti-Semitic posts.
Since you began forging my account, people have seen what a twisted mind you have, and have quit responding to you.
May you die of loneliness and Alzheimer's, Mr. Young.

Hey "Dr. Hellman", According to 'Ed Debevic
<lordofal...@gmail.com>' you and JD Young are the same person. Why
are the headers attached the exact same as Ed's and not JD's?

The rcc says its priests cannot marry and that masturbation is a vile sin. The 66 chapter Bible says no such thing how weird and fouled up is that?

Chronically, lying pols i.e. Trump, drag queens on T.V., gay catholic priests outing themselves, opioid addiction, gay marriage and gay adoption, air rage rates at a all time high, rich ppl stealing from the middle class and poor, mass shootings at schools, shopping centers, places of worship.

Some religions are obviously false, some are evil.

Of course the rcc has never had a Black, Aboriginal, Asian poop even though the rcc claims to have existed for 1,900 years that is racist. The rcc has a long history of anti-Semitism as does the poster of this. The rcc endorsed slavery for centuries.

Saw someone on his hand cell phone driving 2 days ago. Someone last month heavily vandalized the EV charging station at King's Cross Mall it is still inoperable. As for character assaults what does Bill Donahue and JD Young say about Joe Biden or AOC?

Half of all marriages will fail. Ppl gamble at the casino in Langley, BC 24/7/365 just around the corner the poor and homeless gather and at the bus stops a 2 minute walk away. Recently some guy shot several homeless over a period of hours https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/langley-shooting-steven-furness-paul-wynn-vigil-1.6540754 one was killed at the bus stops I mentioned. Here in Canada only 21.5% of citizens donate to a registered charity and the avg. yearly donation is $477 I donated $4k last year. Hebrews 10:24-25

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

The rcc received at least $1.4 billion dollars from U.S. taxpayers https://apnews.com/article/catholic-church-get-aid-investigation-39a404f55c82fea84902cd16f04e37b2 and https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/07/10/us-roman-catholic-church-received-at-least-14-billion-in-taxpayer-funded-ppp-loans/?sh=65fa6d33250c despite having billions in the banks.

Attending religious services is at an all time low I am a non-denominational Christian wear a JESUS chain I don't go to a church or synagogue. Two parent families are more successful than single parent ones although there is legit reasons for divorce. The poster has never had a wife, gf or seen a woman naked just like the late, doomed Earl Weber his fellow catholic and chronic liar.

If you are the real Dr. Hellman where do you work?

JD Young hates Jews and is a chronic, daily, liar.
