The siren song of the paranormal

The death of a pope prompts much talk about spiritual matters.

The world is watching to see if the papal conclave of Roman Catholic cardinals will replace Francis with another left/progressive or someone more like John Paul II.

Recent surveys by Pew and others show an increase in “spirituality” but that more people are leaving traditional Christian denominations and identifying as “nones.”

The only churchgoing group showing a slight gain in America is nondenominational evangelicals.
