The big misunderstanding

The kingdom of God is not a democracy. The kingdom of God is to be appreciated in terms of “essence” and not of “number”. In this way, pure quantity is not as important as it could seem at first sight.

The Catholic Church is permanently criticized because she is the only voice in the world which has the strength to resist the cultural dictatorship in which we live.

The mission of the Church is not obey the elastic tendencies of our nowadays self made ethic “à la carte” which in the end is no ethic at all but a miserable attempt to commit our sins without feeling guilty.(abortion, gay marriage etc.).

The mission of the Church is to announce the truth of God which she received from Christ: Matthew 16: 18-19 states: "And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church".

The church sticks to her mission and tells the world uncomfortable truths. This is the reason why so many people would like to see the Church not only reforming herself but in reality just completely disappear. The modern human being wants to sin in peace and keep the consciousness of guilt away.

In the very end if there are less Catholics going to Church, it is not so bad. What would be bad, is that the church to please "the world" would start betraying her holy mission. Unfortunately, inclusive among some bishops and priests, a lot of people don't understant this basic truth.

The Lord clearly said that the day of his coming back, there will be few Christians who will still be waiting fo him. So, don't worry.
