The Faithful Departed

From Phil Lawler’s, The Faithful Departed (p. 253):

The entire massive structure of Catholicism totters along on borrowed time. But the trend is clear. That whole structure will come tumbling down, perhaps within the next generation, unless there is some dramatic change. Yet the Church establishment gives no sign off changing, or even seeking to change. Quite the contrary, pastors and bishops alike studiously ignore the handwriting on the wall and pretend to conduct business as usual.
