my daughter read at mass this morning for the first time (3rd grade), so i went to watch her.
everyone in church was at least 60+. i'd say most were in their 70s and 80s. granted, it was a weekday and most folks are at work, but what happened next gave me pause.
i had some old guy come up to me and clutch my hand after mass and say "it's so nice to see someone young at the church." his wife was nodding in agreement. i'm 40 in january. i'm not young.
i said thanks, exchanged pleasantries, etc.
i don't know why, but it freaked me out. it occurred to me that once these people die, church might just be empty.
scares the piss out of me, actually. a whole society running around devoid of any kind of spiritual guidance makes me stop for a moment and think.
i try to stay out of church/bible arguments on here, but it was a weird experience. just had to share.

I have had similar experiences in Europe; though on Sundays you do see more young people.
Our Mass is full to the limit 3 masses a day plus pretty full for 3 others. We are one of the "super Churches". We live in an area with a lot of families. I think it depends on the parish.

This is a dangerous reality.
We are commissioned to tell people about Jesus, Chad.
1 Corinthians 1:17 (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=53&ch=1&l=17&f=s#x)
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
Now I want to share this piece from one of my favorite books, Jude. I love the book of Jude. This piece is written in a certain context which should be understood: Jude is warning Christs followers about the infiltrators in the Church (Yes, they were active back then, and even before Christ came), and speaking on the sinful ways that people are conducting themselves because of the false teachings by the infiltrators.
So in relation to the the sinners and the victims of deception, Jude says in the name of Christ:
[21] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=72&ch=1&l=21#x) Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto life everlasting.
[22] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=72&ch=1&l=22#x) And some indeed reprove, being judged:
[23] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=72&ch=1&l=23#x) But others save, pulling them out of the fire.
These are critical statements.
Firstly, "And some reprove, being judged" - Most people are familiar with the "Judge not, lest ye be judged" attitude of the Church and Faith, however, as far as the Church Militant is concerned, when it come to the preservation of the purity and intent of the teachings of Jesus Christ, we Christians have a duty to make a judgement call, and reprove (rebuke) the deceivers, as they are doing to work of satan, not the Lord.
Secondly, "But others save, pulling them out of the fire" - This reiterates the point that we are to spread the Gospel of the Lord, as the salvation of souls can hinge on the works you choose to do or not do. In a world where the population is like ship-tossed overboard people stuck in a whirlpool, swirling around the drain and about to go down, we need to throw ropes out there. We can't make anyone grab the rope, but we can offer it. Maybe that's a bad analogy, but it's the first thing that came to mind.
So then, while we are commissioned to preach the Gospel, we are not commissioned to inculcate people.
See here:
Matthew 10:14 (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=47&ch=10&l=14&f=s#x)
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet.
Mark 6:11 (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=48&ch=6&l=11&f=s#x)
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you; going forth from thence, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them.
Luke 9:5 (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=49&ch=9&l=5&f=s#x)
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them.
Of course Chad, I know you know all this. I'm just writing for the lurkers.
Also for the lurkers, Jude is a short book, only one Chapter, and goes right into the meat of the matter. It is a great book for non-Christians to pick up and read in 5 minutes. Right away the false teachers are brought to the forefront. I recommend it. Here is a link:

Neither are in position to accomplish this on a mass scale so why worry about it. Worry is a sin anyways.

Ok, now I take issue with this, and I will show you based on scripture.
Before I get into it, I will say that I recognize that the (Catholic) Church is corrupted from within, but that also goes for all other sects of the Christian faith. In fact, going back to the book of Jude which I exhorted above, you can see plainly that the conspiratorial decievers were already hard at work infiltrating and working towards the destruction of the Christian Faith right at its inception:
[1] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=72&ch=1&l=1#x) Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James: to them that are beloved in God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called.
[2] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=72&ch=1&l=2#x) Mercy unto you, and peace, and charity be fulfilled.
[3] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=72&ch=1&l=3#x) Dearly beloved, taking all care to write unto you concerning your common salvation, I was under a necessity to write unto you: to beseech you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
[4] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=72&ch=1&l=4#x) For certain men are secretly entered in, (who were written of long ago unto this judgment,) ungodly men, turning the grace of our Lord God into riotousness, and denying the only sovereign Ruler, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
[5] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=72&ch=1&l=5#x) I will therefore admonish you, though ye once knew all things, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, did afterwards destroy them that believed not: [6] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=72&ch=1&l=6#x) And the angels who kept not their principality, but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgment of the great day.
[7] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=72&ch=1&l=7#x) As Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.
[8] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=72&ch=1&l=8#x) In like manner these men also defile the flesh, and despise dominion, and blaspheme majesty.
[9] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=72&ch=1&l=9#x) When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee.
[10] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=72&ch=1&l=10#x) But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted.
Also, in 1 John, chapter 2, starting at verse 18 you can read about the deceivers at work, the antichrists:
Children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrists is coming, so now many antichrists have come; therefore we know that it is the last hour.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out, that it might be plain that they all are not of us.
The point I am making is that the Church has been under attack since day one. Humanity and our salvation was under attack long bfore Christ came, which was the reason for his coming to begin with: To save us.
So then scripturally I take issue with your statement, as if Lutheranism or whatever other protestant version of Christianity which holds strict adherance to the KJV is "better than" or more "pure than" the Catholic faith.
I give thanks to the Lord that I have a friend who pointed this out to me when I was bent on discovering "What is the closest version of Christianity".
In the book revelation there are 7 letters to 7 Churches. John was given this revelation by Christ on the Island of Patmos, and was told to write these letters to the 7 Churches. I will not repost them all here, but they are found in Revelation right at the start of Chapter 2.
So then let's look at a significant difference in what Jesus had to say to the 7 Churches that Jesus addressed through John:
Ephesus:
He finds good work and praises their efforts, and He finds bad and scolds their misdeeds. (Rev2:4)
Smyrna:
He finds good work and praises their efforts, and warns them against the synagoue of Satan (Rev2:9)
Pergamum:
He finds good work and praises their efforts, and He finds bad and scolds their misdeeds. (Rev2:14)
Thyatira:
He finds good work and praises their efforts, and He finds Jezebel teaching immorality. (Rev2:20)
Sardis:
He does not find too much of good work, except for a few, and He finds bad and scolds their misdeeds. (Rev3:1)
Philadelphia:
He finds good work. The Lord mentions no fault in this Church. (Rev 3:7)
Laodicea:
This Church is found neither cold nor hot, but Lukewarm, and the Lord says they will be spit out as a result. (Rev 3:140
So then, where are these Churches now? The Catholic Church is not perfect, but then neither is Baptist, Pentacostal, Lutheran, or whatever other label you want to put on it. Simply put, none of the current modern day Churches are the Church of Smyrna or Philadelphia, and whether you like it or not, those are the only two Churches that Jesus Christ Himself addressed and found no fault in.
As I Christian, I find strength in this knowledge. I attend a Catholic Church, but I don't consider myself a "Catholic".
I am a "Christian". I am not a "Protestant" or anything else.
I love Jesus, and Jesus Christ is my Lord, and my faith needs no label put on it, nor do I need other people to agree with me. My faith has been steered and shaped by the Lord through Prayer, Scripture and friends/angels that the Lord has put in my life to help me along the way as I seek the truth.
I am getting sidetracked. The essence is this:
This division in the Christian faith is the work of the synagogue of satan, and there is ample warning of this group of conspirators all througout the Holy Scriptures.
I doubt very highly that any of the modern Churches meet the Holy expectations of Jesus Christ, the Father and the Holy Spirit.

I would say the division in the Church is part of the action of Beast of the Apocalypse (BotA). The reference to the s-o-s in Apoc. refers to the present time for St. John (though it may still have relevance today). The BotA is an agency which has the singular purpose to destroy Christianity. The 7 heads can be thought of as different approaches used by the beast to accomplish it goal, or more precisely, different areas of human thought to control and distort to its purpose (i.e., politics, economics, science, media, etc.). The BotA interacts with the whore and the little beast (who may represent false prophecy which is part of what has lead to the current divisions in Christianity, and to other religions). This is based on the amillenial view- the view the Church has held since Augustine, and which some protestant churches also hold.

Chad, I go church hopping with my neighbor in my county. Regardless of the religion, it's all old people, and very few people our age. The same was true when I was out on the road. I always thought the old-people-factor was because of my location in the country (God's Waiting Room), but in all different kinds of churches, I saw the same thing: almost completely old people.
PS - I think it's absurd that people argue over which flavor of Christianity they believe in. It always reminds me of this Emo Phillips bit:

Try a Catholic Church and try understanding the theology and the Mass. It is real. What happens at Mass is real and directly involves God. If you are really brave, try the Latin Mass (you need a Missal to understand it). This is close to how the world worshipped God for almost 1500 years (there were minor changes until the new mass).
A lot of protestant churches (not all) have stripped themselves of most of the theology and the sacraments, and what you are left with is a supposedly wise talking head. In modern days it is often like the pastor is a psychologist or counselor, not a priest. It is similar to comparing temple Judaism of the pre New-Testament days to today's talmudic religion.
The Judean temple religion lost the priesthood. Now it is the Catholic Church, as well as some splinter sects (i.e., Orthodox) that still retain it. This is a real priesthood (regardless of the foibles and massive failures regrettably which have occurred in recent times). Many protestant groups explicitly reject it.
Until I started to study the issue, I had no idea how real it was.
Read John chapter 6.

I'm an atheist and even I know this. Catholicism is just a cover for the occultic religion the Illuminati push on us and the foundation of the New World Order. It is the religion of Semiramis and Nimrod (her son and lover) from Babylon. When you worship the Virgin Mary, you are worshiping to Semiramis. This is where the concept of God and Goddess comes from.

I've done my research and you did not nor could not disprove ONE iota of what I said. Islam was created BY Jesuits in 600ad.
What an idiotic statement. The Society of Jesus wasn't even founded until 1540AD, over 900 years after the creation of Islam.
