Who, besides me, wonders what will become of the "next generation" of traditional Catholics?
Traditional Catholic is defined as "attending the Tridentine Mass, and adhering to the older disciplines of the Roman Catholic Church".
I would define the "Next Generation" as those whose first memory of church consists of being at an SSPX, SSPV, Indult, or other place where the Tridentine Mass is offered exclusively -- in other words, those who were born into TRADITIONAL Catholicism. Those who were born into Tradition in a post-Vatican II world.
People my parents' age had to fight the Novus Ordo, many left, many found Tradition at some point between 1970 and 1990. They knew what they were missing, and were overjoyed to find out what went wrong, and what they can do about it (attend the TLM).
But what of the kids in our chapels today? Where will they end up?
Generally things get *lost* over time, not gained. Considering the strength of the world, at least, that's how we can expect things to go.
If the parents are Sunday, worldly, or lukewarm Catholics (making many compromises with the world), where will their children end up?
I think this is a very important topic.
