We may hope that these events drain much of the credibility and force from Abp. Weakland’s labors to create a bloodless, suburban, American Catholic Church indistinguishable from dozens of other dying, liberal Protestant bodies.
An Archdiocese of Milwaukee spokesperson recently gave a progress report.
While Catholic parishes in the central city might be struggling to hang onto members, some suburban counterparts are booming, said [Communications Director Julie] Wolf of the archdiocese.
(See Poll finds changing religious trends in Wisconsin.) Ms. Wolf gave no specifics; any such booming parishes would make an interesting series in our Archdiocesan weekly, especially any sidebars showing long-term statistical trends.
