- Pews in Catholic churches in the Boston area are sitting empty. What caused the exodus, and will parishioners return? Laura Haefeli reports.
I am thinking of going back to church. I think God is sending me some signs that I need to open my heart again. God bless us all.
Try a Latin Mass. Much more reverence for Christ and the Catholic tradition that built this faith
god is the head of the church… there will always be members who truly do not represent what it means to be a catholic. But Christ will never fail you. He loves you. The lord will guide your steps
Stay away. Don't go back. I am a Catholic in name only and proud of it.
You don't need the church to be close to God
I went back after 30-years about 10-years ago and I'm glad that I did. Try a couple churches out and go from there. Bless you.
Stop the sexual abuse of kids by the clergy.
💯🎯
Stop the sexual abuse of boys by the clergy.*
@chuckscott-cy7iq you honestly believe little girls are safe in the hands of pastors of other, non-catholic churches? My mom would beg to differ
It’s not the church that failed humanity… remember god his the head of the church… it’s certain members that failed God…this is not new
@@marisol033 Nonsense.
0:37 this is the protestant episcopal church ⛪ not catholic-
You’re right. I didn’t realize that the first time I watched this. This is a hit piece on the Catholic Church. If that quote by the archdiocese at the end is accurate then they made a mistake. They should have said that they teach the truth as taught by Jesus Christ.
The people in the video are the ex Catholics , it has nothing to do with the church in the video.
@@ruthmaryrose The people in the video are the ex Catholics , it has nothing to do with the church in the video.
😂 the people that you show is the reason true Catholics had stop going to church because of weak clergy refusing to called all that out, but keep lying to yourself
💯🎯
Be a strong Catholic… do not put your faith in priests… they are human like you… they are weak just like us…we also represent the church… put your faith in Jesus
That’s so wrong to have a rainbow flag on the altar
The same reason I don't want a homosexual priest at the altar.
💯🎯
Originally the rainbow was a sign of God being present with us
@@muckyguru Originally maybe, but the alphabet stew brigade have hijacked it, and it is now demonic. Very inappropriate in Church.
@@michaelhaywood8262 Bigade? Demjonic? Vey innppropiate? Why should we listen to your take on religion when you butcher the English language?
As a lifelong Catholic I would not be attending that parish either. The purpose of the Church is to teach God’s laws which do not change. Any Catholic trying to say God’s laws have changed is a heretic.
Neither would I with the altar draped in the LGBT flag, very inappropriate.
they're trying to stay relevant lol
What about all those dietary laws in Leviticus that were repealed by God in Acts chapter 11? As time goes on, believers have come to realize more and more that God is a God of Love, Reconciliation and Inclusion -- even to people that have been outcasts in the past.
Being Catholic is just as cringe as being transgender.
What has the Roman Catholics ever done for us?
Most young catholic boys had their first experience of sex in Roman catholic churches.
Preserved music, art, and architecture throughout the centuries. Funded the first universities and hospitals. Still funds education and hospitals. That’s a start.
Besides sexually abuse little kids? Not much.
The Catholic Church has preserved civilization, but of course you wouldn't know about history.
@@AdamTru1 All this art and history wouldn't have needed to be "preserved" if it weren't for the Catholic Church causing the Dark Ages by suppressing secular education for centuries.
Can't stop touching little timmy.
I can tell you why with one look at that church. False prophets who are condoning filthy sin. REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND TURN TO JESUS!
Tell that to the pedophile priests.
I know that's your indoctrination speaking but..
When all the moderates have finally left the churches,
What little remains in Religion will be fanatics, bigots and conmen.
More and more people are discovering they can and are living moral and spiritual lives with religion and the god beliefs... And certainly without that typical religious hell fire and condemnation fear mongering.
Christian churches that bow to the whims of popular culture suffer from declining attendance as well
I am a celibate Christian that struggles with homosexuality-Western Civilization is dying Christians will stay faithful to the Old Traditions.
Church will not bend to liberalism, even if Boston will.
Then goodbye, cos your burying yourselves. No-one will mourn your disappearance.
Oohh.. Perhaps Religion ought to get increasingly political and join MAGA.
Oh wait they are and trying to shove Religion down everyone's throats with Christian Nationalism.
Stop with the persecution fantasy, people are leaving Religion because it is no longer relevant in their lives.
As a former Catholic, I didn't bother trying to change my former religion "liberal" like liberal Christians have been trying to do, I just simply left it.
Take it or leave it, right?
The Latin Mass is always growing everywhere.
Good on you everyday people! You're up against the biggest bully on the planet!! Just awful.
My thoughts are with the many victims.
Bring back the Latin Mass and it's a guarantee that people will start coming back. We're sick of jingly Protestant Masses and liberalism. We want tradition, Latin, and the *true* teaching of the Church.
Vivat Christus Rex.
Sick of hypocrisy, no longer a Catholic.
What's the hypocrisy? Humans are sinners, and we chase God because we wanna be good and holy. The church is a hospital for sinners, and yes, we all are hypocrites because we sometimes say things we don't mean. Athiests, agnostics, cultists, buddhists, etc... we're all hypocrites because we sin. We aren't perfect. But we Christian Catholics try to strive to be SAINTS.
I am leaving the church because of the leniency of the church nowadays, Apple Watch Edition and conservatism. We don’t need the church to be like the world.
If Father is not a traditional Catholic, sorry, he's part of the problem.
Who the Jesuit?
The traditional masses are full, it's people like you that are the problem. Just go be a Protestant
Another heretic.
@@ryanscottlogan8459 Please explain why I am a heretic?
@@MW-eg4gu Not you.The priest.
Irish abandoned Catholic church.. So is boston
when you start asking questions & thinking for yoour self you don't need a church.
I did and I ended up in the church.
What a bias documentary. Couldn't be more bias. Despicable.
My principle is, my savior is Jesus, not the priest, or anyone else, so if the priest makes a mistake it's not a problem, because I still look to Jesus, because the one who will take me to heaven is Jesus, not the priest
Good. People are finally waking up from this religious fairytale.
No fairytale is being taught in catholicism
@@erikbrim8381 Says the kid that has been brainwashed by the fairytale.
No everything I do is my choice.
Yes,.. I agree 😄😄
@@fallenangel7884 what has led you to think that God doesn’t exist
Es preferible que queden las Iglesias completamente vacías a que busquen el aplauso de las masas. Es mejor así. Así que no hay absolutamente nada de que lamentarse.
God is everywhere.
Yeah, when you're delusional.
back tothe latin massand the old days
The pope has not allowed same s e x marriages to be blessed, this has been clarified many times.
I agree.
Religion should not change and it it's a waste of time and energy to change it.
Either take it or leave it.
And as a former Catholic and long time Athiest, I simply left the church and eventually drop kick my religious beliefs.
Because you don’t follow the BIBLE.
That church will close soon. With that going on.
Thats not a Catholic Church
Reject modernity embrace tradition, repeal vatican II
That is exactly what the Taliban and Isis believe. Oh my….
God loves everyone.
In South Korea, it's raining. Would desert be raining right now? Jesus in my heart in him in desert. Raining. Jesus, I trust in you. St. Faustina, Pray for us. Let us pray for the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. What a beautiful looking Church, l may sound so silly but if l can, l would love to walk right into that Church. I am hurt by the strange sexual people but, l know of my own sexual sins, that I too have committed. Let us go to the confession for all our sins. What a lovely looking Church. I am dying to have one over here like that. Americans you are blessed. Don't waste it. ❤ Sabina
Heresy Heresy Heresy
Heresy?
Boston is blessed to have His Eminence, Cardinal Sean as their Archbishop, along with His Excellency, Bishop Reed. I pray that the People of Boston seek the truth and return home to the church.
Pope Francis is delighted to see Church attendance decline. His efforts to sow confusion, foment division and dilute the Gospel are paying off...
Love the sinner, hate the sin
Impossible
@@timothyobrien9183No that’s what we are called to do, this world today may not know this but it is the truth.
Some Catholics want to change Gods principles…since God made it clear that having an issue intimate relationship was forbidden to take place among his children… we cannot bend his rules…at this point we are disobeying God… just like Adam and Eve did… we cannot trust our own logic because God is the true logic. Humanity always gets it wrong without Gods wise words. If he says it is not right…. Nothing we do will make him change his point of view
The scene in the report depicting incense rising is not in fact at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston; it is in fact, Grace Cathedral, an Episcopalian church in San Francisco! Really bad imaging and very misleading. It is an affront to Episcopalians. No wonder the flock is leaving in droves!
This is so wrong
If you live in this area, start praying the 4 Rosaries all 20 mysteries for a mass conversion of the neighborhood so the church won't close or pray that wealthy person donate to keep the church open. Do it EVERYDAY, or you might not have a church anymore. The choice is yours. No excuses like "I'm too tired from work/kids." Do you want the church to stay open and save souls or are you gonna let the devil lull you to sleep? Church is amazing and if there are bad leaders, then pray 4 Rosaries daily and contact the Bishop about changing the leaders of the church.
Total and complete baloney!!! . . . Catholic baloney!!!
70 years ago you had no options for "salvation" outside of Holy Mother Church. Now we have so many ecclesiastical options and no censure of going to hell unless you submit to Rome...Follow the $$$$. No revenue = CLOSED FOR BUSINESS.
The Church is the Bride of Christ. The Church is meant to remain a rock in the midst of the culture that surrounds it. It shouldn’t change with every whim. The Church absolutely loves these people that you show. But it also requires that they abstain from sins that separate them from God. God actually does know what is best for us, and He never changes.
pray for you, god bless
Fear is an important aspect of the Catholic Church!
There was a time when fear drew people to attend church every Sunday!
God is our Father and He loves us like a Father. What father would send his child to hell for all eternity!
Fear of God is the Catholic teaching!
What father would expect his son or daughter to visit him weekly!
Basically, the Catholic picture of God is totally based upon ignorance and fear.
Spare me that desecration!!!
Christ tells us to love the sinner, not the sin. This travesty cannot e condoned or continued or the Catholic church will eventually disappear.
Was Jesus a Catholic? Would he approve of it?
So Boston has fallen to modern liberalism and the masses have decided to embrace said liberalism. That’s the reason. Kyrie Eleison…
That's good. Join the program or be left behind. Just like what's happening in Europe, more atheists than religoons 😂
🙏🙏🙏🌹📿
The fact that this is even a question is extremely disturbing @cbsboston
