So now it's the Zeitgeist? I don't buy this explanation at all. The Church survived two World Wars stronger than ever. It survived the French Revolution stronger than ever. It survived the fall of the Roman Empire stronger than ever. Those were zeitgeists far more influential and powerful than Kinsey or the pill. It was the spririt of Modernism which infused the Council and caught traditionalists unawares that has decimated the faith. It has been doggedly pushed by two modernist popes despite scandal after scandal and failure after failure. Both Paul VI nor John Paul II despised Catholic Tradition and did all they could to undermine it. The Novus Ordo Mass and Assisi I and II are their monuments to faithlessness. They sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind.
