Comment: I agree - we seem to be getting a lot of: "Don't get mad I don't change anything that is abusive or supports sexism and other biases, while ignoring the important need to protect children from abuse.  Just think happy thoughts - ignore all our church's weakness and pretend the church stands up for the equal humanity of all,  then everything will be good."

Did you notice the survey to the young only included questions like: Why aren't you marrying younger?  Do you think work is keeping you from having more kids?   or just money? Have you considered guiding your life by religion instead of the secular stuff you are guiding yourself by now?  No admission that survey after survey has our youth gone, stating they left or won't join due to sexism, child abuse by priests, overly conservative politics, senseless teachings regarding birth control, nasty treatment of LGBT and clericalism.  

Another survey that manages to make sure it does not ask the questions our church needs to address most.
