Here's a sample:

Dr. Phillip Gorman, a Psychologist from the institute of Social Mental Health explained that, “Many in the Church argue that the reason many fallen away Catholics feel guilt is because they know that what they’re doing is an objective moral evil. However, studies have proven that it’s mainly a chemical imbalance that is brought about by the constant bombardment from the pulpit regarding things like, sin, the reality of demons and the devil, and other ridiculous claims.” Rev. Kenneth Sims denies this by asserting that, “I, nor any other priest or bishop I know, have ever preached a sermon on sin, hell, demons, or the devil in within the last 40 years. Obviously the good doctor is mistaken.” In fact, in a recent poll, only five percent of Catholics even knew what a demon was.
