Se le chiese tendano al suicidio: in dialogo con Fulvio Ferrario

In brief

Fulvio Ferrario argues that both Protestant and Catholic churches face a crisis of secularization as Sunday liturgical attendance drops to alarming levels. In a dialogue with SettimanaNews, Ferrario compares the decline in religious practice to a form of institutional suicide.

Ferrario notes that Sunday attendance rates are particularly low, citing a 3% participation rate in Protestant contexts compared to 7% in Catholic contexts. He suggests that the increasing distance between believers and Sunday worship reflects a fundamental shift in how the concept of worship relates to life.
