Joseph Ratzinger, (Pope Benedict XVI) Faith and the Future, 1969
“The church will become small and will have to start afresh more or less from the beginning. She will no longer be able to inhabit many of the edifices she built in prosperity. As the number of her adherents diminishes . . . she will lose many of her social privileges. . . . The real crisis has scarcely begun. We will have to count on terrific upheavals.
