289. "But the truth is...
that only about ten percent of that number are genuine, theologically practicing church-goers. Most Catholics are that in name only ."

Mostly thanx to people like Ratzinger. The pronouncements coming out of the Vatican are so counter Christian, in many cases, that good people just simply cannot subscribe to them.

If you could see the type of person being ordained now, you would realise that the church is dying. Those 90% who haven't quite cut ties, are praying for a miracle and waiting......

Its a very sad day when the best thing you can say about a new pope is "well, maybe he won't last long".
