The summary of the report says it all in one line: "In the future, the Church can expect to experience declines in Mass attendance."

Wonder if the writer has considered it may not be due to the work of Agents of the Devil or Agents of Hell...but instead...is the will of Almighty God and that the rcc is proceeding as it should.

God made the devil and hell, they serve His purpose alone.

They just don't know that...

I’ll say this: He is sovereign in all things. All believers in Christ need to be doing His work.

The truth is the leaders are no longer sacrificial Shepherds guarding their flock, admonishing against sins of the flesh and the culture of comforts and pleasure, intellectual satisfaction, but are instead envious of and rushing toward protestantism, killing Catholic identity, believing Catholic chant is out in the West and rock music is in, followed by feel good mutterings and dead sacraments, replaced with puffy little crackers stored in the church kitchen cupboard, or closet.

Few could tell much difference between the modern Mass and any protestant gathering, today.

That was never true prior to Vatican II. Afterwards, the nefarious emptying of ancient Church doctrine as well as Catholic identity was out for all to see and boldly in the open.
