Traditional Catholicism of today isn’t the Traditional Catholicism of pre Vatican II. 

Traditional Catholics of today have poor work ethics.  Many parents are clueless on how to raise a family because many Traditional Catholic children are spoiled with many clothes and junk food.  In the past, Catholic parents were strict and were more family oriented with grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins living near by and helping one another.  Today, families are often isolated moving far away from families for various reasons.  We had Catholic parishes nearby.  50 years later, not many chapels around as should be.  And there 6-8 priests living in one location instead of having one priest to serve as a regular parish to save on fuel, time, tolls.  It is impossible to serve the sick and other needs of a traditional Catholic community.  Traditionally,  on community had a priest to baptize until extreme unctions. 

Priests and hierarchy of the past would be leading the way against nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr tyranny and poisonous jab instead of going along with it.
Good point, back then we still had the safety net of churches on every corner manned by validly ordained old priest and Catholic schools and grandparents and relatives all around us. Nevertheless, unfortunately, the majority of Catholics fell away despite that safety net.. Today, we have no such safety net as you point out, so imagine what is going to happen if we do not take the matter into our own hands, home school and teach the children the faith and how to live a Catholic life?


Quote
Sister Lucy also said to me: “Father, we should not wait for an appeal to the world to come from Rome on the part of the Holy Father, to do penance. Nor should we wait for the call to penance to come from our bishops in our diocese, nor from the religious congregations. No! Our Lord has already very often used these means, and the world has not paid attention. That is why now, it is necessary for each one of us to begin to reform himself spiritually. Each person must not only save his own soul but also help to save all the souls that God has placed on our path.” (Lucia of Fatima 1957 interview with Fr. Augustin Fuentes)

Of the young people in my SSPX parish, some of whom are even parents of teenagers, I do not see many that will last as "traditionalist" for very long (and you can forget about their children). We are living in 1965 all over again, in every respect. The traditionalists of the future will come from the world.

I can relate, LT... 

When I grew up (born in 1975), we were fighting for truth and resisting all the changes in our novus ordo church.  My folks were always intent on letting us know WHY we left the NO, and WHY we could never go back.  It was discussed at length, on many occasions.  There were many Sundays, and Holy Days we had no access to the sacraments, but Dad always told us it was part of the greater sacrifice.  On those days we could not attend Mass, we read the Mass and prayed a rosary.  It was tough at times, but I always understood WHY we were doing what we were doing.   

I've had the same discussion with our 12 children for over 26 years now.  I don't see those conversations happening anymore...the teenagers at our local SSPX chapel have NO idea why they attend mass at the SSPX chapel versus the local NO chapel.  The fight for truth and sacrifice is fading, and sadly it will continue to be passed on to the next generation of "traditionalists".

That's really sad to hear and see... I myself was brought to the Church in a search for truth and then I jumped out of the Novus Ordo once I saw it for what it was. Only to find some who still have their foot in both Tradition and the Novus Ordo. LT is right in saying trads will come from the world, although, right now, it seems like most are being snared into Eastern Orthodoxy...

I honestly really had to fight the temptation myself when I was getting out of the Novus Ordo. The pull is very strong, especially since it has all the outward trappings of traditional piety, even the sacraments, but it doesn't have the true Faith.

So safe that the "safety net" kept you from the "life before 40" about which you boast? …meanwhile resurrecting a moldy thread to virtue signal.
