THIS IS NOT A VERY ENCOURAGING PICTURE OF AMERICAN CATHOLICISIM

by abyssum, December 9, 2018

The below Study has now been completed. The data was collected from April 1 through November 30, 2018. All told, there are samples from 15 states located all over the USA map. I have someone helping me from a statistical view to help break down the findings in a more analytically approved method.

To the layman, the differences are quite striking. In 1960 about 80% of Catholics were going to weekly Mass and now it is 99% for the TLM and 22% for the Novus Ordo. Most of my numbers were gathered post 2018 scandal. There has been a visible drop in Mass attendance among the Novus Ordo attendees from the 22% of 2016. How much we’ll only know in a few years when the 2018 Novus Ordo numbers become available. The TLM numbers were not affected by the scandal since the vast majority of the 1700+ samples were taken after September 1st.

The birth rate of 3.6 is just below the 1960 birthrate of all USA women of 3.65, but significantly higher than the 2.3 of the average Novus Ordo woman. The monetary giving in the collection has got to turn heads. The TLM attendees give 5 times what their Novus Ordo counterparts give (6% vs. 1.2%).
Blessed and fruitful Advent, Fr. Kloster
