Summary
Quigley (1938) first sounded the alarm at least 12 years before the decline began and the alarm has sounded time and again as late as the 1980s, when for example, the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) produced its Visions and Values in the Catholic School project (1984) and United States Catholic Conference (USCC) published a three-volume series Formation and Development for Catholic School Leaders (1993, 1994). Both series were designed to provide vocational training for those serving in the nation's Catholic schools
