I really hate to say this, but I honestly don't go to mass on a regular basis. My church was very crowded over the course of this week. But there is usually always quite a crowd for mass at my church which is very good..

: For all the Catholic, every Sunday churchgoers in the house,
: Did you notice how incredibly crowded it was this Sunday morning at mass? I mean, my church is usually about 35-40% crowded every Sunday and I expected that it would be crowded today, but not so crowded that you could barely find a seat. As a devout Catholic, I go to mass every Sunday morning and I believe that faith is all you can really hang on to, especially in terrible times like these. But what happens after this Sunday? What happens next Sunday? Will it be as crowded next Sunday as it was this past Sunday? I seriously doubt it. Next week many Catholics (also Baptists, Lutherans and many other religions) will try to move on with there lives, but many, sadly, will lose touch with their religion and not go to mass on a regular basis. Why must it take a terrible tragedy to get many people to start seriously practicing their religion and continue going to church?
