I just started "AmChurch comes out" by Paul Likoudis. He sources and quotes examples that backs up your above statement. This book may be even more difficult to read than was "Good bye! Good men."
Some of the catechism texts issued in the 60s (even before Vat II) are downright bizarre.
Well, the questions that need to be raised go beyond just the homosexual and sex abuse scandal issues. This thing with using cells derived from abortions at Georgetown University, for instance, can be seen as a kind of social engineering - desensitizing Catholics to this issue. This is how it always goes down. They set a precedent at some big place (like Georgetown or Notre Dame) and then it trickles down. The experiments in education at the primary school level which got going in the 1960s are now standard throughout America. Now, children of that age are too young to be able to stand up and protest what is being done to them.
It may seem silly or even charmingly harmless to have some sort of funny puppet at Mass. But what this is doing is programming kids to think of Mass as something funny. You can go to places where adult Masses are almost like that. What I dislike about the mentality is that this kind of stuff is forced on people with a fascistic clericalism which is really even MORE RIGID than the stereotyped presentation of what the Church is alleged to have been like before Vatican II. When we read about former sex abusers being involved with these national liturgy committees involved in further experiments with social engineering the Mass according to some sort of weird psycho-social theories, think we should ask questions about this. And the bishops really need to be responsive to the Catholic laity on this. If sex abusers have been involved with tinkering with the Mass, we should ask WHY?
There is something fishy here.
Catholics should demand that the rights of the faithful be protected. We should have the best possible people involved with making decisions about Mass, about the education of school children, and about the way that Catholics issues are handled at the university level. Unfortunately, what we have had for well over 30 years has involved some of the most crackpot liberal nonsense loose on the American post-modern cultural landscape. That is wrong. And this needs to be investigated and exposed for what it is. It's wrong for bishops to sit back and let wacko liberals conduct social and psychological experiments on the Catholic community.
None of this wacko stuff carries the force or authority of the Gospel. People get confused when the clergy present certain types of bizarre ideas, policies or programs. Just because a priest or a bishop (or an ethicist or college president) says something is OK does not mean it is in the best interests of the Catholic community. That applies to liturgy, education, and this bizarre Brave New engineering of cells derived from abortions.
