As I drove home this morning I caught a random AM broadcast of some church service. The priest gave his sermon, talking about generosity and how those unnamed and forgotten often have the most vital roles in historical events, and not to lament this because God knows all your works, good and bad.

Then in the middle of this sermon, not missing a single beat, he goes on a tangent about how men are "failing to follow their duties", not starting families, remaining "forever bachelors", "shirking all responsibilities" and so forth. At the end of this scolding he then lamented the fact that there were fewer men in the Church today than 50, 80 years ago and ended his sermon.

Utterly bizzare that the church as an institution can't put 2+2 together and figure out the reason behind the decline in male attendance. Are they all idiots?
