Just a question but would God let this happen to his church?

Paradoxically, if it is the case that "Catholic schools are often seen as a safer and more enriching alternative to failing public schools." yet "Nationwide, Catholic schools have lost more than 587,000 students since 2000, according to the National Catholic Education Association" we must assume that people no longer want a safer and more enriching alternative or, alternatively, that they now feel safer and more enriched in failing public schools or alternatively again, that this claim was always a self serving delusion. It's always a mistake to start believing your own marketing blah. I wonder which if any applies?
I wonder too if there is any connection with the emerging stories of rampant paedophilia among Catholic clergy in so many countries?
Finally is it because fewer parents now comply with Catholic teaching on contraception?
Such interesting room for speculation.

Don't you subscribe to the notion that we are living in the "end times" and that God has pretty much abandoned us to our own devices in this sin-filled era of the "last days"?

There are actually very few prophices left to be fulfilled and since God has been true in explaining them to those who will listen and see that they are in fact happening, then there is no reason to think he will not keep his promises of what he will do after all these things finally do come to an end.
Rev the 21st chapter is good for one to look up and ponder on and see what he promises.
