You make a good point. The Modernists do not dare to attack the ancient faith of the apostles frontally. They chip away at it by indirection, by suppression or by subversion. They will, for instance, suppress acknowledgment of the Real Presence by eliminating the rubrics which show respect or adoration, by shunting tabernacles off to a corner. They won't come out and attack the dogma, but they will act as if it did not exist. So too they will use subversion by subtley changing the language and structure of the liturgy so that it no longer expresses the Catholic sacrificial intention behind all traditional Masses. They do this by emphasizing those elements which express the Protestant liturgical notion that the Lord's Supper is primarily a liturgy of commemoration-- something explicitly condemned by Trent.

Ever read the Gulag Archipelago? What you describe is no different from the many places and times evil was able to thrive. Insidious onset with the hearty addition of some blind and ignorant followers just like our friend JM. No doubt the public schools are assisting, because we don't need critical thinking skills to guard the faith. Just follow the pope, no matter what his background or spirituality. Office is office and no one ever gets into office by being corrupt.

Just what do you think was the origin of this kind of mess? The RC church has always been innovative and made things up as it went along. Fast on Fridays, no never mind. The list is endless, beginning with the filioque.

After all homosexuality is only one more fad to follow.
