A number of years ago, I served 4 or 5 terms as President of the St. Anthony Holy Name Society. As many of my St. Anthony colleagues will attest, we felt fortunate if we had 10 members in attendance. Had the zeal expressed by those thousands of church members continued through the years, I would guess that there would be much less violence and societal mayhem as we find in today's society. I would assume that this lack of participation is not unique to the Roman Catholic faith. I would assume the same apathy is apparent in other religious persuasions.
