I took a Protestant Theology overview course from a professor who ended up being the dean of the Calvin College Seminary.    Got him to admit that anybody who could convince 10 people to follow him could start a religion.   

John Oliver proved the same in a hilarious series of episodes a few years back.

Religion trends in the US are all downward.    The Catholic population is down a third in 50 years, and those who are left are increasingly not going to church -- roughly, when asked they say they are Catholic because their parents were .. but they aren't practicing, and they aren't indoctrinating their children, rinse, repeat. 

That Marquette "has lost their Catholic identity" is a function of the marketplace.   

Yep, yep, yep.

Oliver's church's name was Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption.

Hard to beat that.

John Oliver accepting am offer to name the Danbury CT Sewage treatment plant after him in exchange for him donating decent $ to 3 local charities

and the offer has been accepted...with a condition. If you are near Danbury you should make the trek when this all goes down:

DANBURY, Conn. – A Connecticut city won't waste an opportunity to get a sizable donation from comedian John Oliver about a weeks-long joke pertaining to the name of a sewage plant in the area.

Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton said on WTNH-TV that he would accept Oliver's challenge to name the city's sewage plant after him following Oliver's offer to donate $55,000 to local charities.

But Boughton said there was one stipulation to renaming the facility: "You must come here to Danbury and be physically present when we cut the ribbon," he said in a Facebook video posted Sunday.
