The Holy Eucharist.
Back in 1994, during the pontificate of St. John Paul II, a question arose in the secular media that was circulating in Catholic circles. In sum, the question was this: Can a Catholic disagree with Church teaching and still be a "good" Catholic? John Paul rightly said, "Of course not!"
The media jumped all over this conflict and, of course, conducted a poll of Catholics who already believed the error because of their horrible catechesis. They announced that most American Catholics did believe they remained good Catholics even while rejecting Catholic teaching.
So grab a seat and look at these numbers we have gleaned from various polls and surveys from the past few years.
- Only about 1 in 4 Catholics attend Mass weekly
- Among the weekly attendees, only 13% agree that contraception is immoral
- More than 2 out of 3 support homosexual "marriage"
- 51% believe abortion should be legal in most or all circumstances
- 7 in 10 do not believe in the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist
- The overall percentage of Catholics relative to the total population drops to 1 out of 5
- For every convert, 10 leave the Church
Such is the miserable condition of the Church today. One of those points we'd like to focus on is the horrible poll results about the Real Presence. Without the Eucharist, there is no Catholic Church. It's just that simple.
