What do you call a Catholic who attends the Latin Mass said by a priest who, unlike the Vatican II Catholics, hasn’t rejected en mass centuries of unified theology and hasn’t introduced new contradictory theology in order to become unified with the worldly mind as have the Vatican II leaders?

Maybe Vatican II adherents are the ones who ought to claim a tag other than “Catholic”.

A person that attends a Latin Mass, pre-1958, attends a Mass that was in effect for over a dozen centuries. Vatican II cannot just erase this history and true-Catholics are in this Latin camp.

The “Vatican II leaders”, as you call them, are in fact the hierarchy of the Catholic church, and they are the ones who, according to “centuries of unified theology” get to define who is and who isn’t in communion with their church.

If we instead follow your reasoning, then absolutely anyone can call themselves “Catholic”, based on their own personal definition of what that is. Now personally, I don’t really care much about that, but I do think it’s gaming the system to use the “Catholic Caucus” tag for threads that seem to be rejecting the Catholic church. Maybe make a new tag?
