Political Discussion
I'm not a Catholic but I drive by the Catholic church every Sunday and the parking lot is overflowing. There are plenty of traditional Hispanic Catholic families in the US and also African American Catholics. |
Plenty of Catholics in PA do. PA and NY news is deeply entwined. |
And yet the Catholic Church I attend in NOVA is almost always so crowded that people are standing along the walls and overflowing into the hallways and at least half are young families and/or people in their 20s and early 30s. |
Religion is with every passing generation becoming less and less a part of cultures all over the world. Good. Maybe we'll have world peace one day. |
| Wait - was Joe Biden, our Catholic-in-Chief at this dinner? If not, why? |
He was asleep because he is very old and overwhelmed by trying to perform the very demanding job of POTUS. Hopefully we have all learned our lesson about voting in almost 80 year old presidents. Be smart, Vote harris! |
Nah, I’s rather Vance than Harris as well. |
OMG, are you still peddling this song and dance? You’re beyond transparent. |
Perfect joke for a religious fundraiser 👌🏼 |
Unfortunately we are just creating new religions that are just as evangelical. |
That parking lot is only full because so many parishes have been closed. For example, in Baltimore the Archdiocese initially had 63 parishes and cut it back to 21. 42 parishes closed!!! They’ve been decimated. |
Here is an article. |

The Archdiocese of Baltimore has 153 parishes and missions located in nine counties and the City of Baltimore. Not to mention shrines, chapels as well as Catholic Churches in another rite (Byzantine, Eastern, etc.) People move around. https://www.archbalt.org/parishes/ |
