Most Trads, I now realize, think this is what will happen:
Times become difficult ---> Something magical happens ---> Life is great for Catholics now.
They prefer to alienate others as well as themselves. They do not believe, it seems, in a slow crawl through institutions that are already there. If the effort doesn't spontaneously result in Catholic utopia, then they won't engage.
This is how the Catholic world is, apparently. This is why the Catholic world pales in comparison to the secular world. And this is why the Catholics will be run over time and time again. Catholics fail in America.
