Yes, I think this is a serious problem. Frank describes "church" as essentially his family getting together on Sunday mornings with his father preaching a sermon to the family and some other rubrics of a religious service. of course, it is all outside the visible church. There is no real church structure, even though Francis was ordained. It was really just family worship. I like Francis a lot, but this is always caused me serious concern.
