I live in Moncton. One of the astonishing things about this town - and maybe yours - is that the churches seem to go into hibernation from Sunday noon till next Sunday morning. No wonder they're declining. The only church that seems at all active is a very commercial Wesleyan outfit down the street from me. It appears to be a sort of religious MacDonald's.
The Catholic church's recent woes are just part of a broader problem. Western churches have been reduced to an irrelvance of which their declining and aging membership is only a sympton.
