I'm aware that it's fashionable in traditionalist circles to heap disrespect on everything that was done after 1962

So you keep saying. I stated my criticisms of the CCC and they had nothing to to do with the year it was published. 1) It's too long. 2) It takes way too many words to state things that can be stated in much more concise ways. 3)It contains the doctrine of the faith, but before and after statements of doctrine there is endless, "on the other hand, however, although, etc." type of verbiage that obscures the doctrine. It is not as clear as other catechisms I use, which just happen to have been written prior to 1962, so draw your own conclusions. As for its fruits, just see my exchange above with sinkspur.

So you keep saying. Too long? Have you read the CCT? It is to laugh! Too many words? That's a matter of taste. I disagree. Obscures the doctrine? Hardly. Your anti-particles on the modernist side bleat and holler that it's too doctrinaire, insufficiently nuanced, and out of touch with the modern world. When I quote the CCT to them, their heads explode. The CCC is a tool I can use when disagreeing with them.
