How can they stay faithful to something they've never known?
I grew up post-Vatican II. My family never missed Mass at our local parish church (wreckovated to resemble a masonic temple, without statues or other traditional decor, tabernacle off to the side, no recognition of the Real Presence, dancing women on the altar, etc.). It wasn't until I came across a copy of a Leaflet Missal catalogue (thank God) that I had the slightest clue regarding the post-VII abruption.
“How can they stay faithful to something they’ve never known?”
The same way the Japanese Catholics stayed faithful for 250 years without a single priest or bishop to guide them. http://www.crisismagazine.com/2014/st-paul-miki-and-the-rise-of-japans-hidden-christians

Oh, you mean weren’t dependent on a priest or bishop to teach you the ancient Catholic faith in the information age? Welcome to reality, bud. We all have the responsibility to teach ourselves the faith in adulthood.
