Are you saying that Catholics who disapprove of the abuses that you cite have Modernist leanings?

Also, it is a logical fallacy to assert that because one event precedes another event in time that the first event caused the second. Yes, abuses occurred after Vatican II but these abuses were not caused by the Council but rather by the deliberate misinterpretation of the Council. But, for the extremist Traditionalists, blaming the Council is just a whole lot easier than trying to draw such distinctions.

I believe I said the opposite.

This argument is disingenuous. These abuses do not happen for at least five centuries, then Vatican II (an unnecessary council) happens and Voila! abuses abound! But there's no connection at all, right. I guess there's no connection between the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror either.
