Buffalo Diocese recommends merges, closures of 15 churches
They are facing bankruptcy as they have to pay at least $100 million for raping priests, but also less people are going to church, less kids baptized, less people marry in church, and on top of that there are less priests. Already in 2011 they had to close over 70 churches.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
