The destruction of Traditional Catholcism and the homosexual infestation of the clergy both have one root cause: acquiesence on the part of the faithful.
You touched upon a very important point - not merely that Trad Catholicism is the way it should be, but the fact that the laity were asleep.......stupid.........too willing to "go along to get along"........were sold and firmly believed that ceasless change was not only normal but was approved and expected of them.
We, the laity, share a lot of the blame, because we did not as one rise up and say NO to the changes.......to the effeminancy of the priests........to the stealing of the money........to the preaching/teaching of heresy/erro/apostacy to ouy children......and becuase we gleefully swallowed the whole bitter pill.....and then were so happy, that we sang hymns about it!
On many levels - for our spiritual sleep and unquestioning unfaith - we hav gotten what we deserved!
I agree. It is also up to the laity to recognize and fix some of the present problems. This includes holding accountabilities with bishops and priests. The present sex abuse scandal should teach us that the hierarchy is culpable and since they are directly implicated here they must be called out and removed if necessary. We can do our duty to God only by fulfilling His will and appropriate actions to support His truths.
Bad, pointless, annoying, creepy, modern hymns.
