Hi. Just a pointer: if you think the child rape scandals are just a thing of today and that they will cause the Catholic Church to disappear, you need to re-evaluate your history. A mere skimming through "Brideshead Revisited" will show you that we Catholics are quite used to priests & bishops behaving awfully. Not thay I condone them. Just that you know.
On the other hand, what do you mean by "dying"?
Do not mistake your expectations/subjective views of the world for reality. They tend to differ. For everybody. Me too.
- phryk 14y agoWith child rape scandals I was merely referring to the wording "sex scandals", which seemed very euphemistic. With the churches/religion dying I mean that atheists are the fastest growing 'camp' concerning religion. The catholic church might not die within the next 5 years, but I'm pretty sure will fade into non-existence. Every statement about the future is speculation of course.
