So long, MCA!

As a longtime member of various YMCAs, I'm interested in the institution's history and ongoing health.  As a Christian and as a longtime fan of civil society, I'm interested in the gradual (or not so gradual) secularization process that hits many Christian institutions.  The Young Men's Christian Association stopped emphasizing the "Men's" and the "Christian" long ago, and now apparently they're going to make it official by dropping the MCA completetly.

UPDATE: Maybe the "C" was a bit narrowly defined?  A reader points out that the Catholic Church traditionally viewed the YMCA with suspicion.
