"Very many have been baptized and have made their first Communion also; they have been married in the Church and they want to have, in God's good time, the last sacraments and a Church burial. But it is undeniable that outside a group, more or less numerous, of fervent Catholics, you have the simply well-disposed, the indifferent and even the hostile...
