  This should help explain some of the spiritual malaise and fall off of Catholics.
  
  We spend more than we earn.
  
  We expect someone to forgive our financial debt simply "because".
  
  We're too attached to "buying experiences" (eating out, etc.)
  
  We desire "things" more than God. 
  
  Health care costs are exploding because people feed their face too much and exercise too little. 
  
  We divorce and that drives up consumption and spending. 
  
  We make wrong choices and build bad habits and then we have spend money on counselors who tell us that "we should positively affirm ourselves".
  
  We drink too much...
  
  Porn use is off the charts
  
  And the bishops want to focus on Trump's budget and so does Tom.
