100 Million Catholics Just Left — And No One Will Say Why

From Totus Catholica

100 million Catholics have left the Church in Latin America in recent decades. Pentecostal churches grew by 800% in 30 years. Most think Catholics are leaving because Protestants have better theology. The reality is far more devastating. They are leaving because Pentecostals showed up. The Church with the fullness of truth could not even knock on their door. In Ezekiel 34:2, God says, "Woe to the shepherds who feed themselves." In Latin America, there is one priest for every 7,000-15,000 Catholics. Pentecostals offer encounter, community, personal relationship. Catholics have the Eucharist, charisms, chabura fellowship groups - everything they want. But we locked the charisms in a closet and forgot the key.
