Orthodox = Teaches what the Church has always taught.

I know it's hard for some traditionalists to accept, but that can be found in Parishes where the Mass is offered according to the Novus Ordo. They really should try to wrap their minds around that concept.

TRADITIONALISTS HAVE NO MONOPOLY ON ORTHODOXY.

From the Greek "ortho", which means straight or correct and "dox", meaning belief or opinion, orthodox refers to the approved form of a philosophy, ideology, doctrine, religion, and so on.

Try to find "correct belief" at any CCD class. How can a Church that teaches junk religion on Saturday, be orthodox on Sunday?

IMO, orthodox also refers to the liturgy. How you pray is how you believe. The TRADITIONAL liturgy has been thrown aside - and with it orthodoxy.

It's almost scary to think that people believe the NO to be orthodox. I imagine in a few years it will qualify as traditional, and then it will be orthodox.
