Andrew Greeley is a sociologist and Catholic priest. In this book, he explores what happened to the Catholic church after the Second Vatican Council.
He presents the case the Second Vatican Council didn't actually instigate large changes to the church but that those in the church were not fully prepared to implement the changes and now that the changes have been made, theres very little than can be done to turn back the clock.
He also pointed out that the Church leaders often ignore the things that make Catholics love being Catholic such as May Crownings, the stories, stained glass windows, etc.
Greeley makes his points well and has the data to back up his observations.
