You have to start thinking of the Catholic Church as a business. Because it is. It has a product. It has revenue in the hundreds of billions, perhaps even trillions, per year. And it has customers. This is true regardless of whether it is tough to hear, or whether you regard the Catholic church as a legitimate spiritual authority. Businesses get revenue by catering to the wants of customers. Business retain and increase revenue by prioritizing the wants of their largest and most lucrative customer bases. So who are the major customers of the Catholic church? Religion is declining in the West, as is the fertility rate. Catholics leaving the church, instead of making new Catholics. The future of the church is third world, brown, and poor. And what do they want? They want religious justification for their resentment of the advanced and wealthy West. And the church will serve it to them. It doesn't matter to the church if the West falls. It doesn't matter to the church if the world trade network collapses and plunges that third world back into poverty. It doesn't matter to the church if we never reach the stars. It doesn't matter to the church if all of the planet becomes the African village and the Brazilian favela. They do not care if humanity is wealthy, healthy, happy, technologically advanced, or at peace. They care if humanity is Catholic.
