About this sermon
A new study published in Church Life Journal reveals a dramatic drop in Sunday Mass attendance among Americans raised Catholic—from 34% in 1973, to 20% in 2002, and just 11% in 2022. Joining to analyze the findings is Michael Rota, Professor of Philosophy at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota and one of the study’s co-authors. Rota explains the primary reasons behind the decline in religious practice, highlighting “community” as one of the main keys to reversing the trend. He shares insights on how Catholic families and parishes can work together to build lasting communities. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
