The recent print article on behavior of priests in North Carolina makes it clear to me that the "new old priests" (thanks, Fr. Bill) have bought into clericalism completely.  They are rising in the hierarchical ranks. Their bishops are happy to have them. "Catechism Tim," as I like to call him, was just appointed vocation director of a large archdiocese. He'll be delighted to find more men devoted to the tradition, the secrets, the special character on their souls that will put them above the lay folk. His Holiness has his work cut out for him. House cleaning in the Vatican will be a start, but these guys are waiting in the wings.
