Yes - most folks under 40-45 know nothing else. And the modernist clergy use this to their advantage. They refer to Traditionalist Catholics (or anybody who presumes to oppose them) as being "disobedient".

Of course - they themselves are disobedient, to Christ!

But that does not matter......the whole "obedience concept" is a hot button word which sets off alarm bells in peoples minds.

Regarding that hor button word - obedience/disobedience..........its almost as if it were a signal word in brainwashing, if one considers the way people react to it.

I'd agree with you about many of the bishops, particularly those who force obscene "sex-ed" programs on the children in their diocese.

However, this is a wholly separate issue. Please explain how Archbishop Burke is being "disobedient to Christ"? There's no precedent in Church history that I know of that excuses the activities of the St. Stan's council. They are effectively telling the bishop that his authority doesn't extend over them. If that's the case, then fine. But they've placed themselves outside the Catholic Church.
