Yeah well. They're outsourcing too. Only in Austria, where I live, they're losing 54.000 members a year according to recent statistics. With Austria being a small country with only 8 million people, this figure is rather high.

But the Catholic church has one advantage compared to other more literal denominations. They've made an art out of bending and shaping.

Not sure how long that can last. It was easier to do when media was much more limited. But it is huge now and growing and news gets around the world in a nanosecond now.

And that isn't just with religion, politicians as well if they flip flop it will get shown and exploited.

Romney is screwed after his 47% comment and Jeb Bush is going to have problems running now that his own mother said "We don't need another Bush in the White House"

I don't see the institution dying anytime soon, but it is going to be increasingly harder for them to spread bigotry or censorship.
