I was just reading an interesting article in Times yesterday, which is the French church is going on an ad campaign to try to enroll more priests as they are drastically running out of them. They are going to even put ads on Facebook! They were saying that in a country of (on the books) 41.6 millions saying they are catholic, only 2 millions attend church, that is less than 5% compared this to the US going to church like 60%, that is quite a difference.
