Where in the world don't half of 15- to 24-year-olds know:
In what city Jesus Christ was born?
What the Church celebrates at Easter?
What Persons constitute the Most Holy Trinity?
Which is the first book of the Bible?
Communist China? Syria? Albania?
No: Ireland! The poll was conducted
by the Landsdowne Market Research company, which interviewed a
representative sample of 946 people in Ireland and reported the
results on April 9, 2007.
The poll concluded that Ireland's Catholic culture is now a thing of
past. The Church since 1957 in only forty years has accomplished what
the Protestant British and Cromwell couldn't do in 300 years: it has
essentially eradicated from Ireland the Catholic Faith that was
originally planted by St. Patrick in the fifth century.
Since that time, most regular Church going Catholics have found the liberal changes that have be made to the church since 1957 so offputting that most have stopped attending mass all together.
The answer plainly should be for the Church to witness this and reverse the perverse.
