I am not sure what you mean by "normal" Yes, we have seen quite a bit of iconoclasm in the last thirty years, and you are perfectly justified in trying to correct the excesses of the "image-breakers." Not all of it was done for theological reasons. Much of it came about because priests did not like gothic or Italian forms and when given the power to decorate, went to extremes. They were like nouveaux-riche who want to be "modern" but have no taste. Some of that is being corrected,

Yep. Some newer, modern churches remind me of "the furniture of bachelorhood" - no class whatsoever.

I'm not talking about architecture or the decorative arts. I'm talking about teaching small Catholic kids about oral sex and sado-masochism in parochial schools. I'm talking about priests who get punished for reporting corruption. I'm talking about a Pope who awards red hats to apostates. This is not the way it's supposed to be. The system is broken and needs fixing bad. You couldn't satirize any of this--reality is already way beyond satire. Yet Rome will insist Lefebvre was wrong and that the Church was and is not in crisis--even while everything is collapsing into a gigantic black hole.
