"Over the years, many Catholics have gotten fed up watching their parishes and schools present a stale "'a la carte' Christianity" and have sent their tithing dollars elsewhere. When parishes turn themselves into social clubs and schools pursue "academic excellence" rather than discipleship, who can really blame them? Whether or not these folks know their catechism, they at least have good bull$#it detectors. If school and parish officials promoted an unambiguous Catholicity, or "dynamic orthodoxy," I'll wager those dollars would trend back over time. "
