Many young black people convert because white people have taught them to hate Christianity because it is perceived as a white religion. -

Seems too broad to me. I know this, Christ Jesus is saving people. These people love Him, reject the pope, love the Bible, love true Christians and deny themselves, this world, and all things. -

I agree. But I wasnt in charge of the study & they didint put allot of detail in it. However it does give you an indication of the number of RCC in the country & wasnt your original concern a side from the rest?

A further comment re the whole debate about the level of government intervention -v- private charity (in particular church) provision: many here it seems are quite happy for the government to intervene in matters of sexual morality eg: banning gay 'marriage', and certain other aspects of 'social religious morality' eg: the hoo-ha over prayers in public schools, Ten Commandments in public buildings etc and yet I suspect these same individuals are not happy with government intervention in areas of 'economic morality' eg: helping the poor, the 'widows and orphans' and generally correcting economic injustices. I'm puzzled by this inconsistency: on the one hand, demanding intervention in the sphere of social morality but on then other hand with the same breath a ousting of government in the sphere of economic morality; it strikes me as a lopsided approach to 'liberty'.

It is libertarian to demand that government be ousted from the sphere of economic morality and social morality; it is inconsistent and contradictory to cherry-pick from which one you would like it ousted.

The Roman Republic at one time even had a political position known as Censor, to monitor the morals & character of the people. He could even levy fines & impose punishment for moral depravity. Im certain some in here would love to have a job like that where they could play god.

...and a realist too - look at some of His diatribes against the vicissitudes of human nature and hypocrisy in particular! Fortunately, He and His grace can do better than that...

I trust in God's grace, that "He Who began a good work in me" will finish it in Christ Jesus.
