Decline in numbers, sure. I think the great problem is that noone in political leadership in society sees themselves as needing forgiveness, and the Church offers that. When I and my family go to weekly Mass, I can count the number of parishioners without white hair on my left hand. But, as they say, size doesn't matter. The Church, the one run by men, is not perfect...not even close. And, sure, a few of my fellow parishioners find it scandalous that I did not vote for President Trump, but they are not so full of themselves that they don't see both options as respectable choices. When will Congressmen see eachother as both having respectable choices? Putting Senator Warren in the time-out chair and demonizing President Trump himself are not helpful.
