As for the culture of obedience in the fifties, society has steadily declined since then for lack of it. That may turn around in time. Life is constant change.
You are welcome.
I do believe that life moves like a pendulum. Hopefully, it swings back in time before our society goes the way of the Romans of the 300's..
But at any rate, it is heartening to see young people desiring the old traditions - the steadiness of the Catholic spirituality in such times as these is sorely needed as people search for meaning in their lives.
Take care
