Re “Disaffiliation: Session explores church’s woe in handing on faith,” Dec 6:
In determining factors of why the church pews are becoming empty, let me tell you why I no longer attend. Pedophilia has been a source hushed, yet the leaders were aware and to find that it is not a recent but a decades-long “thing.” The guilty party was not sent to jail as should have taken place but sent to another parish.
On recent events the Catholic Church has not said one word on immigration. Children being separated from their mothers.
Personal matter: When I was a child a list of movies that Catholics could see was listed. Perhaps people no longer need to be told how to live. I know there are guidelines that my parents have passed down so I have given the guidelines to my children. Guidelines are common sense that you learn from education and your upbringing.
