I have the book if you have any specific question I would be happy to look it up for you and give you this books answer.
This book shows a major decline in every level of Catholicism, from priests, religious leaving. Drop in Mass attendance all since Vatican II which occurred in 1968. Vatican II was meant to be a 'springtime', I wonder what 'wintertime' is.
But Catholic have holy hope. We have a promise from Christ that the gates of hell should not prevail against It.
