I read things like “... the rituals and observances you strict traditionalists love and are devoted to, are not attractive to the two or three generations younger than yours.”

I then I note among the folks in 20-40 age group Catholics who have moved to Orthodoxy or to 1962 Missal parishes to get away from the “updated” rituals and observances that your misreading of the times and mores led to, with no particular success.

The proposition is unsupportable in fact.

Folks have plenty of zippity-doo-dah in their lives and are seeking transcendence, not banjoes.
