It isn't 'Vatican II rot,' it is a recognition that BOD was recognized long before Vatican II as legitimate.

This has nothing to do with BoD but with religious indifferentism ... which Galitzin promotes.  You Cushingite idiots keep pretending that BoD = Baptism of Sincerity and try to apply it even to baptized schismatics and heretics.

Gallitzin's part in building up the Roman Catholic church in western Pennsylvania cannot be overestimated; it is said that at his death there were 10,000 Roman Catholics in the district where forty years before he had found a scant dozen. Loretto today is in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown.

Fr. Galitzin brought the Catholic to the Alleghenies. He couldn't do this if he were an indifferentist.

What's better, 12 True Catholics who believe in all that Our Lord Revealed, or 10000 people who are Catholic in name only?
St Catherine Emerich said that if there were only one Catholic then the gates of Hell would not prevail.

Relevance?
My point was that a dozen people who are actually Catholic and believe what the Church teaches is better than 10,000 people who call themselves Catholic but are in fact non-Catholic indifferentists. Just because there were 10,000 people in that district who called themselves Catholic means nothing, and if they all were indeed Catholic, it was not because of Gallitzin's indifferentism, but in spite of it. Our Lord can work through indifferent priests as well, to bring about conversions to the True Faith.
I would suggest that it was due to his hard work bringing the true Faith to the people of that area.

You sure it wasn't his strong belief that whatever religion you belong to doesn't really matter?
If he felt that way he would have remained niminally in the Russian Orthodox where he would have been able to receive his inheritance without much trouble.
