The priest that does the services here in this town has 8 other to go to.
the other town sold there church. There's no other priest to replace him if he goes.
lmao!
No worries padre, I said 2000 hail Mary's for ya and I feel great now. I tried to do what you told me, but I couldn't. That's probably for the better though, I'ld never leave the house if I could!!!
The Church in Quebec, like most of Canada, is in a process of realingement, but it is not yet ready to bite the dust. Statcan gives the population of the province as just over 7 million people, 51/2 million of which identify themselves as Catholic. Masses are well attended, and in fact there is a slight increase in attendance the past few years. The school system is still full of children, and the dioceses are reporting an increase in vocations to the priesthood. We have been over the worst, and are heading towards a stabilization in the Church in Canada.
hey Bear is this the "Winnie the Pooh " side of you coming out lol:laughing7:
Sanctus I tellya my own eyes tell me a different story. The local news say different too. Churches are being sold here . Don't make me get the news clipping to prove it! They're sold because nobody goes to them , so no money no funny. Theres no body with there head in the sand over hear. So you can Quote till your blue in the face but it doesn't change the fact of what I hear and see around me. Thats it thats all folks......sorry
propeganda or not your not here to see it.:evil3:
Stabilization is not growth. Might be closer to stagnation. The every increasing demands of modern life and free market capitalism are eroding the membership of practically all organized religions. How many write themselves in as RC, Anglican, Muslim, Jewish or Dutch Reform during applicable surveys and have not attended service since leaving home as young adults?
They are sold, like here, because of the enormous cost of maintaining old buildings in the modern world. Of the 65% or more of the Canadian population that identifies itself as being Catholic, over 56% attend Mass at least once a month. Granted, this is generally because of the tie in with the Church and the Catholic School system.
Millions report themselves as members of denominations of which they do not actively participate, saddly. My personal opinion, one I get into hot water for everytime I share it with Church people, is that if you do not attend or take part in any activities of the Church, you have no business calling yourself RC.
Stabilizing though, after a twenty year period of decline.For the first time in these past years, vocations to the priesthood are starting to rise again, a sure sign of positive formation in the parishes.
stabilized because there's no one else in the church....lol
It would go up if you would let gay's get married there..
and let women and homosexuals as priests... oh wait you do let homosexuals in , just that we find out after in the court rooms .........
Homosexuals are not pedophiles. Pedophiles may be homosexual but not always. That is not an acceptable generalization of gay men or women. Are gay men not allowed to be priest but must remain celibate?
No. Our former Pope changed the entrance rules. Now, any man with a predisposition for homosexual attraction is not to be accepted for the priesthood.
