"NOTHING has changed since their day to change the Truth of their exhortations, has it? What modern circumstances make their points universally 100% wrong?"

I would not say that their points are 100% universally wrong, but things HAVE CHANGED BIG TIME since their day.

I refuse to send my children to Catholic schools (not that we have any close enough to make it feasible at the moment anyway!) because they have become dens of modernism and communism.

According to the UK's Catholic Education Service the lapsation rate of kids leaving Catholic Schools is 92%. ONLY 8% STILL PRACTICE THEIR FAITH AT THE AGE OF 16. And yet they continue to pump the same tired old experience-based, child-centred catechesis on them that has produced these damnable results.

In contrast 32% of Catholic children in State schools are still practicing at the age of 16.

The teaching of the pre-Conciliar Popes was valid in an age when Catholic education was Catholic - I doubt they could ever have believed that so many "Catholic" schools could have become vehicles for destroying children's faith as is the case now.
