As recently as 1990, more than 72% of Germans were Church members. The downward trend has accelerated more than expected in the last six years. Francis was elected nine years ago.
Of the 49% remaining Church members, the vast majority are old, lukewarm, and almost universally non-practising. The homosex and ecologist propaganda with which Church functionaries ("bishops") have replaced the faith doesn’t attract anybody.
The Allensbach Institute for Public Opinion Research stated before Christmas that leaving the Church begins with people (= bishops) losing faith in essential Christian contents.
