Maybe the question is, "Why is the church leaving Catholics"?
my Mom was Catholic and my Dad Protestant. Brought up 3 Catholic girls..I married a Christian Scientist and we brought up 2 Catholic girls. This year is our 50th and as a gift to me he is going to take classes toward becoming Catholic!
I was a non-practicing Catholic for many years, but in 1998 when my grandfather was dying, I became very aware that I wasn’t only helping tend to my dying grandfather, who was in him and with him, but I was also tending to Christ suffering and dying on the cross too. That was the beginning of my journey. Jesus found his lost sheep and brought me back home to the Catholic Church. 🙏🏻
I think responsibility falls on both the church and the parishioners to maintain attendance. When the whole thing about priest abusing children came about and how the church handled it by simply transferring the abusing priest to other parishes was the dealbreaker for the majority of parishioners. It’s like a relationship between two people. The effort has to go both ways for a relationship to work. How can we have faith in the church when all this child abuse is swept under the rug? That trust needs to be built again and that will take a long time.
As a confirmation teacher, I believe a part of the reason why teenagers fall away is a lack of good catechism. My parish uses the Chosen and Decision Point curriculum, and I found often times I had to spruce up the material or make it more applicable to teenagers. It’s filled with a lot of lofty words and cliché phrases that teenagers can’t grasp and take to heart. I think catechesis should dig a lot deeper into the history of the Catholic Church and the history of its traditions. If we are the apostolic church, why are we not teaching our youngsters exactly what the apostles and those that came after them did to worship Jesus and establish His church? Then kids could understand the purpose of going to Mass and its meaning.
I left the Catholic church at the age of 17 at the inception of what we called "guitar masses," Vatican II changes to the liturgy,,,the whole nine yards, the dumbed down language, silly music, taking communion in the hands, communion rails gone, altars turned around, and the faithful flapping their arms. I became a member of the Episcopal Church. I recently learned about TLM and watched Latin masses while locked down for Covid. I discovered there's an FSSP priest in a not too distant (small) city, I FLEW to meet this Pastor, who is brilliant, kind, understanding and truly holy. He welcomed me with open arms. Anyway, his sermons are inspiring. The Holy Mass is brilliant. I will never look back. Thank you, Jesus.
I’m a catechist in my parish, which is run by a very holy priest. I’m a convert so I learned our face through reading. I’m using the Baltimore Catechism with the kids who are 6th and 7th grade. I’m teaching them how to read the Bible and to pray the Rosary. I pray these kids stay in the Church.
I'm getting baptized soon I'm so excited. The catholic faith is me I am nothing without God!
People are leaving the church because those who call themselves Catholic live the same and have the same lifestyle and moral as those who don’t. It is on all of us Catholics. Not just the magisterium.
I just came back to Catholicism and I brought my husband with me. We’re currently in RCIA classes and feel thankful because we have a good team teaching us and our priest is a very good priest also. I left initially because there was so much judgement against everything and everyone and it didn’t nourish my soul. It smacked of the Pharisees of Jesus time and He was not supportive of how they acted and treated people. I like that the church is making efforts to change a bit. The reason I came back was because I did really miss the Eucharist and other sacraments. I do wish the homily was longer. Lol. I enjoyed the hour long sermon in Baptist church but I also felt like a lot was lacking because the Eucharist was only given occasionally and it just wasn’t given the same value that is is given in the Catholic Church. Anyway, your show really helped my husband and myself(I’m stubborn) to join/rejoin the church. Thank you!
I was received into the church last Saturday (alongside 12 other adults praise God). I'm very grateful for this show and you guys' ministry that really helped me as I made my way into the church!
I am new to your UA-cam channel. I find it insightful and useful.
My parish in Asia is growing !
My TLM parish is growing exponentially
Several generations of young people are not being taught the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Parents and schools are to blame.
I was baptaized, had first communion, and married in the church, but then my husband has social anxiety and doesn't like to go to Mass because of the crowd. And so we just didn't go. I have started going on again alone but it's hard. I asked my husband to come back with me, and he said he would consider it, so hopefully we are on the right track again. God has been trying to bring me back to the church for years and I am so glad I listened.
From a former protestant that just entered the Church this year: One problem is the blender of frog parts that is modernism, relativism, and accepting the values of this age - a la critical theory and the "enlightenment" and wrapping those and politics in a Catholic bow and expecting people to accept this in lieu of objective truth. In the words of Saint Paul, if you preach Christ crucified, people will be convicted. There is a lot of confusion because too many things other than Christ crucified are the subjects of conversation. Some of the topics I had to endure in RCIA really highlighted this. People are afraid of offending the sensitivities of pagans. Less environmentalism, conversations about walls, married clergy, and politics. More Christ crucified.
I returned after 20 years. listening to EWTN Journey home was a key factor in my returning. I left not knowing how to defend the faith. I believe emphasizing and teaching our belief in the Eucharist is so beautiful. It can’t compare to the symbol belief. But many Catholics believe it’s a symbol. It’s easy to leave if you don’t understand the true Eucharist which only the Catholic and Orthodox churches have.
I left the Catholic Church 34 yrs ago. I came back this past Easter. I felt something missing in my life. Im so glad I came back. I feel home again. I’ve even started saying the Rosary again. ❤😊🙏🙌💙✝️🇺🇸🥰💒. I enjoy your shows.
Go to a TLM and see what’s keeping people in the faith and growing. It’s not that complicated.
