Many folks, particularly in the Traditionalist movement, tend to idealize ("Golden Age") the mid XX Century. In many ways, it was a good time to be Catholic.

HOWEVER ...

"Modernism" had been explicitly condemned 50 years prior, yet the Church was infested with it. Teilhard de Chardin was a product of the 1920s ... he had many disciples.

Note that most of the priests and nuns, and ALL of the bishops who implemented the spurious "Spirit of Vatican II" had been trained and ordained (or consecrated) prior to Vatican II. Vatican II did not cause the destruction of so much of Catholic life, rather it was the excuse used by those who had wanted for a long time wreak destruction but didn't have the opportunity.

Many of these destroyers were and are queers. Queering the seminaries and inflicting effeminate "pastoral care" upon their parishoners was one method of destruction. It was tolerated and encouraged in many dioceses because the bishop himself was a fag. I offer Rembert the Vandal and the egregious Bernardin as examples.

The politically correct may protest, but faggotry and sexual abuse go together like stink and sewage.

Popes Paul VI and (to a lesser extent) John Paul II seemed unwilling to confront them, for a variety of reasons. This unwillingness would seem to have been an error in judgment. IMO. But they were in the hot seat, I was not.
