Last numbers I had for the church put average age for a priest at above 60 years old. Just wondering what those numbers are today.
And yes, I have also observed that 'liberalization' blamed for the church's problems. So the church ordered its congregation to change America laws to conform to church doctrine? I cannot think of anything more against American principles.
Again, the question. Are they really that divorced from reality? Do they know what is happening? Or is this their solution?
In corporations, bankruptcy eliminates the problem - fires top management. Shame that the Catholic Church has nothing equivalent.
