Church: liberal vs others
I don't normally plug newspaper editorial but I found the following funny: "Liberal Christianity is paying for its sins: Out-of-the-mainstream beliefs about gay marriage and supposedly sexist doctrines are gutting old-line faiths."
The stats in the editorial is very interesting on how mainline churches are seriously in decline. I also love how it ends:

So this is the liberal Christianity that was supposed to be the Christianity of the future: disarray, schism, rapidly falling numbers of adherents, a collapse of Christology and national meetings that rival those of the Modern Language Assn. for their potential for cheap laughs. And they keep telling the Catholic Church that it had better get with the liberal program — ordain women, bless gay unions and so forth — or die. Sure.
