(A study of how western churchianity has neutered Christianity into a watered-down wine - only consumable by a zombified audience whose attendance doesn't require the ability to discern between good and evil. Hebrews 5:11-6:2 - CL)

Proof abounds. Diocese after diocese is announcing the closure and mergers of more churches. They correctly announce that Catholics are no longer coming. One wonders if for one fleeting moment they might consider that vapid religious education and impotent liturgies for sixty years might have something to do with it. Apparently not. So, the dance with irrelevance continues.
Still, enough Catholics are content to applaud this waltz with insignificance. It is, after all, a no-fault Catholicism where one can have one’s cake and eat it too. Enough high-ranking prelates protect it as though it were the sancta sanctorum, happy to deepen the paralysis of an already paralyzed church. These are men who prize process over certitude, the bien pensant over truth, diversity over excellence, and the zeitgeist over tradition.
