Other thing I remember is from documentary "Jesus Camp" where that evangelical little girl explains (this is from transcript): God is not in every church, there is such a thing there… it has certain church… they call: "dead churches"… and people there, they sit there like this:
We worship you, God,
we worship you, God.
They sing like 3 songs and they listen to a sermon.
My guess is she was talking about Catholics, am I right? Then she continues: Churches are God likes to go to… Our churches are jumping up and down, shouting His name…
It seems that other Christian denominations even feel kind of sorry for Catholics because they have boring mass. So which one is most boring? And compared to other religion's masses like Krishnas, Muslims, Satanists... I guess Satanists have most fun.
No one believes in the Real Presence anymore, except, perhaps, for a few nut-jobs. The only reason the Catholic Church has influence in today's World is because it did have influence in the past. Basically, it's become a marriage and burial service. Pope Francis, as Head Funeral Director, still wants to maintain political influence in the World; that part of it has been much harder for the Church to let go of than it so-called "infallible" teachings.
