This reflects some comments I heard from some young Polish Catholics: that they believe in the Catholic faith but not in the Catholic Church. That's very revealing coming from such a staunch Catholic country as Poland.

In para 3, Bishop Tobin states: "For starters, a high number dropped out because they are unhappy with the church's teaching on sexuality — abortion, homosexuality and birth control." Note the order he put them in. I think the priorities for young people should be the reverse order. One of the major mistakes made by the Hierarchy and ultra-conservative Catholics is to assume that anyone who is pro birth control is also pro-abortion. It does not follow.
