It's not just the parishioners they are moving right of, the Vatican now looks liberal in comparison.
The church has fallen a long way from its being on the right side of history during the civil rights area.
Also, protecting all those pedo priests for decades certainly drove away a lot of people.

The Catholic Church has really never been on the right side of history. It's been full of greed and is always self-serving, even if the Papacy presented otherwise.
The Civil Rights era was an anomaly.

The same church that helped Nazi escape criminal charges?

One of those Pedos is still a big shot in town - David Zubik. Makes me want to vomit. He is reprehensible scum.

Seems like as they continue to lose members, they’ll only double down and get worse.

All Catholic Churches in Pittsburgh were consolidated to create bigger parishes containing multiple churches beginning a few years ago

Yeah the American clergy is particularly conservative, both compared to their parishioners as well as compared to clergy members in a lot of other countries

Guarantee that the church in Morningside will be the next in the city to close. They’re already combined with Sacred Heart.

Those seem like contradictory statements. Other christian demonations are waaaaaaay more conservative than Catholics in everything except abortion really.

Episcopalians and Lutherans exists. Very similar services and creeds, but a lot more liberal.

No, they're mad that someone who bought property is exercising their right to use it in the way they want.
