text: You  just can't help get over your miserly little spiritual wisdom TomZ!   You could very well attract young people to Catholic church, yourself, if you truly care!  It is the beauty which moves human being especially the young people.  I myself was quite attracted by priest & nuns spiritual beauty.  Now it is the opposite with clergies sex abuses of children scandals.  They represent a diabolic augliness now!  What horrifies me more is that their insistence of keep the sexual rape of children and wants to keep hiding it as they have been doing for centuries.  
  " Catholicism has been losing its children since Vatican II when the Church sought , ironically, to appeal to secularists."  Well,  try to be honest TomZ, the way the Catholic clergies raping children,
  How do you expect to keep children in the Church?   We should shought to the children to run from Church as fast as they can!
