I wish I could upvote this a million times. 

The Church will not flourish until it gets back to preaching the message of Christ unadulterated. Seeking to please and accommodate the world by not focusing on the parts that the world doesn't like has backfired. We can keep turning ourself into another NGO or social services agency and apologizing for our existence in order to try to appease others and get them like us, but they will never join us. Most Catholics don't know who we are and what we are about and why would anyone be attracted to people that don't seem to take their own message seriously?
