    I wish we had the religious version of Terrorist right now

    Does anyone happen to have a link to any studies about the Catholic church's retention rate? Or ANY church's retention rate? Preferably in regards to confirmation?

    Y'know, out of curiosity?

    I doubt it.

      What do you mean by retention rate. I might but I don't know exactly what you mean.

        Rentention rate refers to the time period in which the basic knowledge of a faith can be retained. Confirmation would be just another notch in that time period. As for my personal experience: I have retained about 75% of my knowledge since confirmation.

          Oh, well I havn't really ever thought of figuring that out. I don't think I have lost anything yet. But I still have time to go I guess. If anything I am still learning. I was confirmed two or three years ago.

            I don't remember ever really learning anything about Catholocism so I guess my rention of it would be pretty high.

              I doubt any church could keep reliable records of that.

                Retention rate.

                The ratio of people who JOIN the church to those who LEAVE the church.

                I read that once Catholics get confirmed, many typically stop going to church; it's the last necessary sacrement of initiation, so they don't see a point in continuing to attend mass.

                I was curious to see if there were actual STUDIES on this phenomenon. Looks like I'll need a new thesis.

                  If it helps, I got confirmed and stopped going to church four years later.

                    We don't stop going to church, we still go Easter and Christmas.

                      God, Christmas mass at my Church sucks: it's the only time that many people go to Church so I usually get stuck standing in the back nearly suffocating to death for an hour.

                        Midnight mass, best sleep of the year.

                          Yeah, I really should start doing midnight mass.

                            Sooooo torturous and tiresome.

                              My statement still stands. I don't think it would make any of them look too good.
