On March 10th this report was published about the Catholic Church and the many new believers who are returning or are now worshiping with the Roman Catholics. I think this is not at all unusual. The Catholics have the best record for bounce-back abilities. What do you say…

Vatican: Catholic Church is growing: growing number of faithful, bishops, priests, deacons and seminarians
Pope presented the Pontifical Yearbook and Annuarium Statisticum Ecclesiae. In 2010, numer of Catholics at 1.196 billion, up by 1.3% over the previous year. Decline in numbers in South America and Europe, rise in Africa and Southeast Asia. Halt in the decline of men religious, but not in women …

Once people have everything then they realise that they have nothing without God.
 
Thank God in Heaven I’m on my way back! What a journey it’s been so far.
 
Hurry back we are waiting for you. May God continue to bless you on your return home.
 
Excellent news! We have 27 adults coming into full communion this Easter at my parish alone. And 200 some youth being confirmed. Praise God!
 
It’s always a great feeling to know that this house of worship has stood for so many years. Gives the feeling of lots of rooms.

I heard a great quote from my dad about this. He heard it said that when things are the hardest for the Catholic church is when the seminaries are the most full.

Holy Lord, please sanctify your church!
 
this is wonderful news!!! in spite of the negative press about the Catholic Church, there are people who are able to see through the negativity and find the Truth that the Catholic Church teaches. what i think attracts people to the Catholic Church, is her ability to stand up against the wrongs and evils of our culture and to try to lead people to respect human life and to love one another and have charity. the Church does its best to try to help people lead their lives to be closer to God than to live apart from God. the Church cares about Truth rather than being popular. so it often has to take the more difficult road.

Scholars always are persecuted by the willing. Read the OT book of 1 Kings, it has a story informative about seminaries.
