    I don't remember Bill Knapps, but I get it. The Catholic Church was probably trying to appeal to older people during Trump's first term,
    but have since figured out that it's the younger generation that has
    more money.

    Money is part of it. But it's more along the lines of, if they can't get younger people to join the church, their membership will die off - literally. And the church dies off too.

    I got talked into going to a mega-church for a "ceremony" (I'm not going to call it "Mass") and thought I was at a live variety show with all the singing and guitar playing.


    But they did have a black rasta jesus christ, right?

    And younger people are refusing to have children. No kids, no up and coming believers within the next 5 generations.

    That may have been more entertaining, but no. Not in a church filled with pasty white dutch people.
