From The prophetic words of the late Avery Cardinal Dulles...

With the progressive de-Christianization of society it is inevitable, I think,that the church will suffer some defections and a measure of disaffection on the part of many who remain. Some of those who leave will join churches whose teaching seems more consonant with modern secular thinking. Others will find Catholicism too complicated, and will embrace severer styles of Christianity,such as those found in biblicist sects. These negative developments will have to be countered by measures designed to increase the numbers and the loyalty-Avery Cardinal Dulles
