Memo To Catholic Apologists: It Won't Work

The US Catholic Church is hemorrhaging membership: 
  • 13% of all U.S. adults are former Catholics – people who say they were raised in the faith, but now identify as religious “nones,” as Protestants, or with another religion. By contrast, 2% of U.S. adults are converts to Catholicism – people who now identify as Catholic after having been raised in another religion (or no religion). This means that there are 6.5 former Catholics in the U.S. for every convert to the faith. No other religious group analyzed in the 2014 Religious Landscape Study has experienced anything close to this ratio of losses to gains via religious switching. (link)
There are many reasons for this demographic change (link). There are many attempts to stem the tide, for example: (link); (link). However, in all of the "sales" efforts to get more people to join, or re-join, the Catholic Church, I have yet to see a recognition that what they are selling is false (link). It's amazing how indoctrination can poison the brain.
