A Catholic priest called the Dennis Prager (who is Jewish) Show today to respond to a question about “marriage is a sacrament” in the Catholic church. He said he’d been at his parish of about 400 families for 20 years, and weddings in the church had gone down by two thirds! Some people are not getting married, and some are choosing other venues. Prager expressed his shock, but the priest continued, that the young people he counseled over 20 years had changed. Whereas, 20 years ago they were “cultural Catholics,” and now they were “choice Catholics.” And he mentioned 3 couples in his parish—one he married a few weeks ago, one right after Thanksgiving, and one whose wedding was coming up. He said all three couples were in mass this past Sunday. Prager agreed with the concept. He said formerly there were cultural Jews, and now they are Jews by choice if they attend services.
