The problem with Novus Ordo Catholics is this: most are either not strong in their faith, or at least they are weak in their knowledge/training. If your faoundations & training in the faith are weak, you are very susectable to being subtly manipulated into apostacy.
A simple example by way of externals. Most older Catholics were taught to genuflect before the tabernacle, and that unecessary talking in church was disrespectful to God. Since many younger Catholics were not taught such things, it might be understandable if they do not do what is correct in these matters.
But where does that leave the cradle Catholic over 40? He/she should know better, yet 9 times out of 10 in any NO church you will NOT see them genuflect bvefore the Presense, and they will talk......er... make that SHOUT to each other before and after mass, like its a beerhall! Yet, they should certainly know better - right? And we all have seen those who are quiet in church, otherwise devout, yet who do not genuflect.
Why is this? Because they have/are gradually being led into unfaith. Because there is no clear, firm teaching universally taught much less applied in the NO.
If one can be gradually and subtly led away from the faith in superficial externals.......one can be profoundly led away from the faith in essentials.
In a nutshell, there is tendency for the NO Catholic to be weak, and to be led, as they trust too much, do not ask questions, as tend to go with the flow. Spiritually, that is a receipe for disaster.
By this I do not mean that all NO Catholics are bad people or fools. No indeed. But, they are placing themselves in a position to be misled by misapplied trust.
LOL! This implies that the trads--SSPX and sedes--are strong, that they refuse to be led, that they trust not at all, that they question everything, and buck the tide.
Describes Martin Luther very well.
