Greeen Bay Press, We don't like Catholics Part 2

From the Green Bay Press.

Does the Press Gazette have a thing for Catholics? Part 1, it's unsafe to eat at church fish fry's and now part 2, they have look into falling numbers of practicing Catholics!
"Survey: Percentage of Catholics in Wisconsin falling

By J.E. Espino • Gannett Wisconsin Media • March 13, 2009

Wisconsin's fish fry tradition at Catholic churches has no problem reeling in large crowds, but a national religion survey shows that fewer people are filling pews in churches of all faiths." Survey: Percentage of Catholics in Wisconsin falling | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette

The PG article on unsafe fish Fry's must not have worked. Here they admit large crowds attend them. Fish fry scare didn't work so lets slam em with low numbers attending church. We will just keep pounding em! I also seem to recall the population of Wisconsin is shrinking. Might there be a correlation between less population and lower # of Catholics? Hummmmm?
"The survey looked at how do people identify themselves. That's all it was. Do you call yourself Catholic? Do you call yourself Buddhist? Do you call yourself nondenominational? It doesn't get at what people are doing behaviorally. It doesn't get at people's yearnings. It doesn't get at people's values," she said.

Catholics, Buddhist or ndm's? That sure is a lot of choices. Seems like a smear against Catholics to me! Maybe a better question would of been, "do you call yourself a Christian? No, we just want to pick on those people.

Those evil Catholics who are against abortion and they have those perverted priests! We'll get em one way or another!
