Yes, the Roman Catholic Church is doing a very good job of transforming itself into a much more conservative, but also much smaller, church.Churches are still crowded with middle aged people who grew up with the liberal church. Most of their children aren't going to church except for weddings and funerals. And the middle aged ones are giving much less money. |

It would take me more time than I have to make a list of regressions in the past 30 years. Let me mention a few that are obvious to the laity.- Some bishops won't allow altar girls. - The new English mass text is a horrible throwback that deliberately uses the 1950s phrases even when they are linguistically wrong. (Which matters because the bishops claim they are a linguistic improvement.) - It used to be OK for a priest to be gay in his feelings as long as he remained celibate, just like it's OK for a priest to have heterosexual feelings as long as he remains celibate. Now such men are kicked out of the seminary. - The rules for annulments have been radically changed. The concept of getting an annulment because there never really was a valid meeting of minds and hearts (I don't know the technically correct language) is gone. |

Sure there's more interest in becoming a priest. If you make it, it's a guaranteed job. If it doesn't work out, they fire you. When the economy picks up, they'll be back to empty seminaries. |

"Sharia" shouldn't be a bad word. It's the Muslim version of what Jews call "Halakha." That doesn't make it tantamount to the whole religion. |

The presence of altar girls is fine. They allow it because it was tough getting altar boys during the peak of negative publicity. Allowing altar girls is not progressive. Allowing anyone on the altar to wear sneakers is, and I see too many altar boys and girls wearing them.Catholics themselves are very centrist. Some like me are pro-abortion, could care less about civil union between same sex couples, and support the death penalty. |

Nice.The problem with religions that "change with the times" is that... well, then it's just another political structure. If man can change the rules, then what makes it divine in nature? Traditional Catholicism is the only thing that keeps me from being agnostic. |

Which is the only way it can survive. Whenever I go to a normal Catholic church (where rules are regularly violated and discussed as if they can be changed), I can't help but think if rules they don't like do not apply to them, well I guess the rules I don't like do not apply to me either, like the one saying I have to go every week, and more importantly (for the continued existence of churches): the one saying that I have to give 10% of my weekly wages to the collection plate.10 full time minimum wage Catholics giving the proper 10%/wk (total: $13,600/yr) provide more support than 100 liberal Catholics who give $2/wk and pat themselves on the back (total: $10,400/yr). Traditional Catholics will eventually be the primary source of funding for the Church, and thus it will make more economical (as well as spiritual) sense to cater to them. |

Yes, the Roman Catholic Church is doing a very good job of transforming itself into a much more conservative, but also much smaller, church.From some of the conversations that I've had with trads, they'd much prefer a smaller church that remains true to the teachings of the faith than being a large charge that panders to the feelings of those who belong within it. To them, it's not so much a matter of numbers, but dedication to the faith that matters, and there's no room for so-called Cafeteria Catholics. Churches are still crowded with middle aged people who grew up with the liberal church. Most of their children aren't going to church except for weddings and funerals. And the middle aged ones are giving much less money. Is that a quirk of the neighbourhood where you live? If your neighbourhood has a dearth of those in their late teens and early twenties, then you'll only see young people as vistors when they come back from college or visit family members or come for weddings, baptisms, or funerals. I'm in a suburban parish, and there are few in the mid to late 20s boat, but how many people in that age group are buying suburban homes in New York in the first place? Admittedly, though, I suspect that the some are simply non-religious or they go to Churches that are more accommodating of liberal values. Even a few may simply prefer non-Catholic churches that are simply more interesting. As for myself, I still go to Church without being forced by my parents, but as somebody who doesn't follow the Church's teachings on certain topics, I'm tempted to go Anglican, but my mother would kill me if I ever left. I suspect that there are some who won't leave the Church because it's a part of their ethnic identity*, and leaving eats away that, and thus they feel that the Church should change to meet their needs, something that drives the trads crazy. *I've found that even dropping hints of being Catholic to other whites changes their perspective of me. Coincidentally, choosing to marry a fellow Catholic is a good excuse to explain why I don't date most black women while chasing white women... |

Even more specifically,legislation that restricts rights based on religion is part of establishing a national religion.Couple of examples....one could say that "do not kill", part of the Judeo/Christian 10 Commandments is based on religion (true), so establishing law against murder is imposing religion. However, it is in the interest of an orderly society where citizens are enabled to live in peaceful freedom that people aren't running around killing each other willy-nilly without consequences. There are no national "blue laws", which exist to a greater or lesser extent (on Sundays, one can't order wine with dinner in South Carolina restaurants or buy beer before noon in NY, in Utah (until possibly very recently, IIRC they are looking to overturn the nation's most restrictive blue laws) all stores were closed) in states, but NOT nationally. |
