Something else from that survey that I noticed is something that a Catholic friend of mine has been railing on for years. Attendance at Mass is actually up in the last few years, and probably in reaction to the Priest scandals (so he says, and I've heard other Catholics say similar things). Some Catholics feel as though their church needs them and have increased their activity. I'll also add that, according to this survey, Catholics attend services about as often as Protestants do. (And in this survey they actually attend more often than Episcopalians, Adventists, and Lutherans).

I wish the margin of error info was available...
I was thinking the same thing about Sunday School, but the date on that is six years old. I wish we would study New Testament more than once every four years. I've enjoyed Gospel Doctrine this year more than ever.
