"On Holy Ground" Article

This article was forwarded to me from my supervisor and I thought about sharing it with you. It discusses the present state of religion in Europe. There's specific reference to Czech Republic (Poland is mentioned though - somewhat favorably) but it gives great insight into how things are looking, spiritually-speaking, on this continent.

One thing that really captured my eye is someone in the article saying that they believed the church had wasted an opportunity to change in order to meet the needs of contemporary society. That's exactly what I've been talking about on this blog!! No, I'm not saying I told you so. I'm saying that this is an issue, so let's get to work and make sure that it doesn't continue!

Poland is mentioned as being pious or something along those lines. But more and more people are leaving the Catholic church and moving the way of the rest of the continent. We need to make sure that we don't lose our opportunity here by deciding to choose tradition over evolving to meet the needs of the people around us.
