What hath Pope Francis wrought?
He apparently thought that by loosening rules and standards he could strengthen the appeal of the Catholic Church -- modernizing it and bringing more of the faithful back.
But it seems the Pope's efforts have only sent mixed signals to the faithful and confused things further, making many wonder exactly what the Church stands for or if it stands for anything at all. Now, look at the results of the latest Gallup poll which show that fully half of all American Catholics seldom or never attend church services. And not even a quarter of all US Catholics attend mass every week. How sad!
