Pope Francis Exciting Followers But Not Filling Pews

The Washington Post says despite his huge impact around the world, Pope Francis has failed to have much of an impact on the number of Americans attending mass, converting to Catholicism or donating to Catholic charities. A recent Pew poll found 40 percent of U.S. Catholics say they pray more often, 21 percent read the Bible more and 26 percent say they’re more excited about their faith.
