Being 45 years old I have only the vaguest memories of pre-Vatican II times. And I think prior to Vatican II there probably was an oberabundance of fear, people pasting guilt onto others, a bit of superstition (people felt they were "guaranteed" entrance into heaven for wearing the scapular), the pope being carried on a throne, clericalism, triumphalism and the like.
But it sure seems that the reforms have gone a bit too far!

This is clericalism run rampant. Do you think that Mahoney bothered to consult the laity. What astonishes me is the modernist's dislike of color. I gave up one local parish because everything was brown and beize. I found it oppressive.
