There’s only one “Real Thing”
In the end, The Church must realize, as its faithful do and as The Coca-Cola Company did: there's only one.... "Real Thing". And, without it, people leave!
Wondering What Happened in the Catholic Church?
Fact of the matter is: the “Catholic Church”, as we know her today, is not the Catholic Church it was for the 20 centuries before the 1970’s.
We have a shortage of priests - even though there are fewer people attending mass. How is that possible?
What happened? How could it be something of such strength fell to such levels? Did the society reject The Church and go her own way? Or, is it that The Church went a different way and society crumbled (in fact, both crumbled) without Her? It's a Chicken and Egg problem. Is it that the Church fell on problems and society suffered? Or, that society changed and didn't want church anymore?
