Unfortunately the number of "Temple goers" is increasing mostly due to Muslims. Only 0.7% (80000 in a city of 11 million)of people in Moscow participated in services over this past Christmas season (www.gazeta.ru/…/n_2157417.shtml or kp.ru/online/news/1055558)

And that's in a city where there are 645 churches. I am sure than even in a town like New York the number of people in the churches would be much higher.

Thank you. These things have to be publically said and made known to the people. It is amazing that a few people can compromise an entire Church. But this has to be made publically known. It is more due to confusion and lack of information that hundreds can be taken astray. I think no reasonable person can doubt the Church teaching or think it's vague. Homosexual activity is a sin and there is no way around it. Revelation and the Church teaching is very firm on this.

As a byzantine catholic I can say that yes, it has been imposed on our Churches in the US, but practically all denominarions are now ordaining married people. It depends personally on bishop's views and level of dependency on the superiors in Rome. Still, as a married priest I can say that married priesthood isn't a solution to anything. If anyone states that Roman Church will have more vocations if they allow married people to be ordained, they are wrong. If anything, they will probably have less.
