In the US (where most data focuses), weekly Catholic Mass attendance among self-identified Catholics was around 40-45% in the 1980s (per Gallup/GSS/CARA trends from the era). Today, it's about 21-24% (CARA 2023-2025 data, post-pandemic rebound). The Catholic population grew from ~50 million to ~70+ million due to immigration, but regular attendees dropped from ~20 million to ~15 million. Global trends show similar declines in Western countries.

You can't be a Catholic and stand against the Pope.

Christians slaughtered by Islamists in Nigeria. Why does the world remain silent?

The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media. I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.

Dear Western liberals, Islamists are selling Christians as slaves in Libya and the Congo Islamists are eradicating the entire Christian population of Nigeria Islamists have admitted their goal is to destroy Christianity across the world This is what genocide looks like.

The best of Megyn Kelly’s flip-flops, hypocrisy, and expert-level grifting.
