Text 1
The Catholic Church is changing in America at its most visible point: the parish church where believers pray, sing and clasp hands across pews to share the peace of God. Today there are fewer parishes and fewer priests than in 1990 and fewer of the nation’s 65 million Catholics in those pews. And there’s no sign of return.
Some blame the explosive 2002 clergy sexual abuse scandal and its financial price tag. But a study of 176 Roman Catholic dioceses shows no statistically significant link between the decline in priests and parishes and the is 772 million the church has spent to date on dealing with the scandal.
Rather, the changes are driven by a constellation of factors:
· Catholics are moving from cities in the Northeast and Midwest to the suburbs, South and Southwest.
· For decades, so few men have become priests that one in five dioceses now can’t put a priest in every parish.
