Those who take the trouble to learn about the teachings and history that a religion has would, quite rightly, understand that what I wrote WAS a sweeping statement. But i don't think it's inaccurate with regard to the 'Failing Religion' question. Your 'regular joe' will likely consider what he sees and hears in the media, thus, for most, it is how i suggested - scandal, perversions, lies and irrelevance.
Whether this is the fault of the Church or the media, i don't know - i would imagine neither are blameless, but it is certainly a human problem.
