Very interesting from 'Cassini'

Then came Vatican II and Pope John Paul II with his theological inventions and concessions. Not for him the HARD teaching on baptism, no, he led all to BELIEVE babies who die without baptism COULD enjoy the beatific vision. My Fathers Catholic dilemma was thus seen as unnessary and futile.
As you can imagine this 'change of doctrine' hurt me to the core. I saw the devil at work here. Today my father would be classed as a Catholic lunatic, with both Church and State insisting the life of the mother is absolutely superior to the unborn child. Sure if aborted babies go straight to heaven, then what better way to fill heaven with ANGELS. From the moment Pope John Paul II offered his theological opinion, no longer would Catholic teaching influence Catholic mothers contemplating abortion.
Yes, from that moment on the Catholic pro-life lobbies became HUMANISTS.
I recall going to one very large pro-life convention with all the 'leaders' giving their reasons why the country should be pro-life and defend pro-life laws. I eventually got to speak. I said if the traditional Catholic teaching on the fate of aborted babies was taught, fewer Catholic abortions would take place. Who could live knowing they prevented their child from such an eternity? Then they started, quoting Pope John Paul II, and the hurt such a doctrine would cause to those with miscarriages. They then told me a certain priest would have words with me AFTER THE CONFERENCE. They wanted NO MORE of that HARD DOCTRINE stuff at peo-life rallies. Luckily, no priest came near me, lucky for him that is.
Whilst many Trads in Ireland assist Youth Defence and others in the pro-life movement, I think they concede, they get Vatican II teaching.
JPII met YD in 1992 so it would be a red rag to the bull to attack JPII. Trad Catholics are a minority in the ranks of YD. The foot soldiers or those that do the donkey work.
Nobody believes for a minute you would have Bishop Williamson speak at a YD event. Nobody is that naive. To use the term 'foot soldiers', Trads are very much the foot soldiers of YD. They would have Cardinal Pell at an event before they would have even Bishop Fellay.
