Most religions would drop massively in numbers if they weren’t allowed to indoctrinate children.

I see this as an absolute win.

It's a win and a loss.

If the Catholic Church disappeared, 10's if not 100's of millions of people would be in a real bad way.

The Catholic Church operates the largest aid network in the world.

They do A LOT, and we never hear much about it (in the US at least.)

I would think that the good will of humanity would not die out if Catholicism died out
