I had read or heard that people here turned away from the church after the violence of the 1990's. But I don't see it. This morning I showed up here (Regina Mundi, the biggest church in town) about 20 minutes late, and I couldn't get in. Every bench space was taken, and probably about 50 or more people were standing at the doors, or sitting on the stairs outside. I would guess there were probably 2000 people inside and this was only one of 4 masses on Sunday. Now maybe in the 80's they had 5 masses on Sunday, I don't know. If anyone has data on changes in church attendance I'd be interested.
