But it doesn’t look like that was done by a post-Vatican II/Novus Ordo Catholic.
No it wasn't. It was certainly protestant in origin. But I wouldn't put it past a NO type to try it. Amongst some of them there is a deviousness. I've seen it in my own diocese.
I’d say most people know it’s a trad “weak point” by now, at least those who have been paying attention for the last 10 or so years.
For instance if I were to say “I love my country but I do not care for its government anymore.” That puts a person in danger among the “Constitution is divinely inspired” people.
