Prudhoe Priest reads the last rites?

The links I give below take one to a doom's day piece penned by Prudhoe's Roman Catholic priest. I don't think it has to be like this for either his congregation or anyone elses. My experience of the secular 21st century is that its members are desperate for grace. Families are being split apart in their inability to hear God's Word. We live in hard times but the gospel does bring joy. And I know I have seen that in congregations in the Tyne Valley both Anglican and Baptist to my personal knowledge. This is the link to the article. And here is another take on it including if you go far enough a comment from me.
