On Sunday I went to Mass. I went to the Beach Mass. About 150 people came to celebrate the Mass on the Beach as the Sun set on one of the last days of Summer. It was just a simple service with the deporables who didn't need a big church or a fancy vestment or gold and rubies. Just your faith.
Beach Catholics and proud of it.
I was too ill to walk on the sand and get communion
I was able to follow the Mass from the Boardwalk with a bunch of other old farts just like me. The youngsters were all down on the sand worshiping and displaying their faith for all to see.
There is a pretty simple answer as too why the Church is in Crisis. It is discussed very cogently in this article called "Catholic Cold War Turns Hot."
The problem boils down to one thing. The liberal elements of the Church embracing and tolerating homosexuality.
