Today the people of God thirst for spiritual drink in a world that is ever more secularized and emptied of God. They want to find teachers of silence, of recollection, of prayer; and instead they find busy clerics and often religious who have gotten stuck in postconciliar confusions and antiauthoritarian disputes, endlessly struggling for their own identity.

—Hans Urs von Balthasar
