Do you have evidence to support your claim that bad sermons and active participation directly caused 4% Mass attendance in France?

What man is attracted to insipid inoffensive sermons? What man is going to get up in the morning on Sunday and drive 1/2 hour to go listen to a lecture about nothing? Going to mass became irrelevant. Read about the Cure de Ars.

As far as the aloud active participation chasing away the men. The Church in the USA did not have it till the early 1960's, prior to that time church attendance was around 80%,  and after 23%, that means 70% of the people stopped going.

My evidence is empirical, the case of my greater family of over 300 people, the men stopped going, and will not go anymore for the reasons I have given in this thread. (insipid inoffensive sermons about nothing, going to mass became irrelevant, loud active participation by women, effeminacy.) Additional empirical evidence is practically all the men I have known my entire life in the USA and South America.

BY the way, I could of just asked you the same question in reverse - Do you have evidence to support your claim that bad sermons increase mass attendance? Do you have evidence that aloud active participation increased mass attendance anywhere?

A very short way to avoid debating my answer.

So, you believe that insipid lectures attract men? You believe that the Novus Ordo aloud active participation attracts men? All the men in your greater family and all the men you know are not put off by the aloud active participation of the Novus Ordo and the insipid sermons?

... No real man wants to go hear what they consider to be an inept man give a lecture (a sermon), nor to hear women screaming in their ears to where they can't even think.
