Catholic culture survives intact only among traditional Catholics and their small communities. Some conservative parishes keep some customs alive--but they are slowly being phased-out.

Some conservative parishes keep some customs alive--but they are slowly being phased-out.

Actually, where I live the older customs are coming back. They're done sometimes as a "novelty" and the organizers are always stunned at how well populated they are. Just the Corpus Christi procession this year at the Cathedral was a complete shock to the people who did it. There were at least a couple thousand people there, most not from that parish.
