The Roman Catholic Church that Pope Francis will encounter on his first visit to the United States is being buffeted by immense change, and it is struggling — with integrating a new generation of immigrants, with conflicts over buildings and resources, with recruiting priests and with retaining congregants. The denomination is still the largest in the United States, but its power base is shifting.”

I doubt that he will find it in upheaval. People like him( the pope) to find them( the sheeple) all holy, just as they feel they are.
He is called the Holy father! Jesus said call no pastor father or Holy , as only GOD IS HOLY! Its a shame Catholics don’t go by what Scripture tells them very concisely! Jesus wouldn’t allow them to call HIM HOLY.
