More catholics tell the church to fuck off!

BRUSSELS, Belgium — Faced with ever-more harrowing revelations of child sex abuse by Roman Catholic clergymen, Belgians are turning in record numbers to apostasy — formally breaking with their religion through a process of “de-baptism.”

The number of practicing Catholics declined from 46 percent in 1980 to 14 percent this year, according to the poll in the daily Le Soir newspaper.

And those are probably old farts who are dying off.

Unlikely,the US will have gone down the gurgler long before, and dire poverty tends to make people even more superstitious.

Maybe if we give them a brain transplantation or something.

The only catholics in the country are obviously the French. I believe this deconversion thing will also have a political impact.
