Someone was complaining on another thread that there was not yet one positive comment on this particular thread. Let me dispel the negativity strawman.
Traditional Catholics are already blessed. Here's how:
Traditional Catholics are blessed to live in these times of duress for Holy Mother Church, because it makes them rise up to defend Her. In better times, many may have fallen victim to complacency in regards to their Faith for lack of resistance to it.
Traditional Catholics are blessed to live in these times because of the greater urgency to pass on the Catholic Faith to their children, whereas they might have been slack and may have entrusted the task to others who may have cared less. They have all the more reason than ever to shield their children from the insanity of the ways of this world, and to most potently pass the Faith on forward to the next generation of Catholics.
Traditional Catholics are compelled to appreciate to the fullest the remnants of a lost tradition which they manage, sometimes only by great effort, to get hold of and experience. In any other time, such appreciation may have not come so readily to them.
Traditional Catholics are blessed because just at the right time, they have, for the first time in human history, access to nearly every document of the Church and every story of every saint that ever lived, and every text of every council, to use as tools with which to defend Holy Mother Church in Her time of greatest need.
There's no negativity on this end... traditional Catholics have so much to be thankful for. I wouldn't have picked any other time in history to be alive.

Hey, whatsamatta wit you. The Pope validates heathens and you can't find anything nice to say?
