    • The survey overlooked an important feature - there is no mention of "chopped hair".

    Intro:  
    "What does the typical American Catholic look like? Surveys conducted by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate tell us she is a 48-year-old, non-Hispanic white, married woman with a Catholic spouse.

    • The sociologists who put that together are highlighting what Trads have noticed for a long time.  The secularists will cheer because it sure looks like the Church is going away and not slowly either.  The Trads will grow.  Those who love God and are blessed with wisdom will find their way to the Traditional Catholic Church.

    The decay in the Novus Ordo is obvious.
