sira ni ron kung makit-an...

I don't think ma sira ni thread sir kay mas maayo ni pra mahibaw-an nato mga opinion sa uban katoliko ba. I'm still Christian pero i prefer to step-out and find better church nga mo preach jud about GINOO lng. No Politics involved. kay di jud malikayan mo taas mn gud ako kilay ana mao na simba nlng ko tungod sa GINOO pero dili nko mo HALAD nla.. mas prefer pa nko motabang sa mga kabos kysa mohalad.

There are many factors and not just social media.This survey is actually a good way for the church to examine itself and find out why the number of church goers are dwindling. Then they can find a solution to the problem. From my observation, some people get turned off because of the way some of the priests do sermons or the stand of the Catholic church on some issues. Some people feel alienated. As for my observation of the youth, I think most of them find the church uninteresting. I see some go to church but "ga uyab uyab ra".

@letsee Na hitabo naman. There are more Muslims than Catholics.

i don't think nga mas daghan ang muslim kaysa katoliko karon. Siguro daghan ang nisubay sa lain nga dalan pero dili na igo para ma kuhaan ug dako ang gidaghanon sa katoliko, timan-i kada tuig nagka daghan ang tawo, kanang nibuwag sa katoliko, na apil sa survey, mga batan-on na kasagaran nga ang gisimba kay para lang mag uyab-uyab ug kita kita sa barkada. Wala jud na naminaw sa pari, kung naminaw man lapos ra pikas dunggan.

i don't think na aware na sila about word of god, they don't know anything mao nibalhin ang uban nila. Wala silay nakat-unan mao nibalhin sila. Imagine sa church, naa ka sa pina ka likod, unya full pack ang tawo, maka feel pakaha ka sa imung ginoo ana nga dili naka ka focus kay layo kayo ka sa pari. ma feel nila nga bisan ug dili sila mosimba ok ra kay daghan paman manimba. So adto sila sa laing religion, unya mo sulti dayon sila mas nindot sa ilang new religions. Syempre ing-ana ang ilang reaction kay ipa feel man na sa ilang pastors nga ikaw importantte, ug ma feel sad nimu nga nag care sila sa imung presence didto sa ilang church.
Mo balik ra gud na tanan sa basic needs sa tawo. Ma feel nimu nga secured ka sa new religion nimu, ug ni belong ka nila, so anha jud ka. Nganong adto man ka sa lugar nga ma stranger raka?
Mura ranag clasroom gud sa public. Ang public school clasroom karon populates 60-70 pupils kada classroom na ha. Do you think maka paminaw pa tong naa sa kinalikuran? Do you think quality education na ing-ana?
Ang catholic church pwede nimu e compare sa public school clasroom, more population less learning. Unya ang ubang religions, ma compare sa private schools which has lesser populations, so pwede ma 1on1 ang mga students or attendees.
