Theological Bankruptcy

This really captures the essence of why clever marketing schemes by Archdiocescan bureaucrats are not harvesting Catholics.

If you're not leading people into a state of grace and keeping them there, the local parish is reduced to just another competitor for time. The average age in parishes here in Boston is more like 65. When you see what the Archbishop is doing to Catholic education with the help of the presbyteral and archdiocesan council you will see that he,they really are dismantling Catholic education as they did Catholic healthcare. The cowardice is breathtaking.

They literally contemplated making the new school policy mandate pastors give no preference to Catholic applicants in Catholic schools.

These pastors have long abandoned offending the people in the pews with the tools that supply Sacramental Grace. The world has reaping their harvest.
