“...more dispassionately...”?

That’s some flabby prose right there.

“...more dispassionately...”?

That’s some flabby prose right there.

I think it's the right word in that context. He's describing what the (truly dumb, illiterate, and bizarre) changes to the Mass and Catholic identity look like today in the eyes of young Catholics who are excited about the actual Faith.

They (and converts like sexagenarian me) don't get cranked up over some old Kubayah Kouncil from when I was 9 years old--and which was used to neuter and dumb down the Catholic philosophy and teaching that inspired me to come into the Church 30-odd years ago.

As a college trustee, I worked with old, modernist nuns--some of whom were very sweet, and some of whom were just bitter hippies and hard Leftists. I was puzzled at the nostalgia of those who treasure Vatican II as a Catholic proto-Woodstock.

As if that were a good thing.

The realism, humility, heroism, and gratitude built into Catholic culture and Tradition charitably and straightforwardly kick Woodstock's butt.
