I don't know what a "neo-Catholic" is. However, Catholics such as myself, who are loyal to the magisterium, reject contraception because it is immoral. Similarly, we would never approve of "clown" Masses or of nuns delivering homilies since such practices violate the rubrics and the dignity of the Mass.

The only Catholics who would approve of such things are those who dissent from Church teachings, namely those with Modernist leanings. I have never come across any "conservative," traditional-minded Catholic who approves of anything like this. When you find one, let me know.

If only it were possible to learn what the position of the traditionalists actually is. I don't know what a "neo-Catholic" is.

A catholic who is liberal and wants to change the culture of the church rather than leave it.

Sounds like traditionalism to me.

AKA neo-Catholics. If some of those things are merely abuses, why weren't those abuses happening prior to VaticanII?
