Something that everyone is missing --
Prevost graduated high school in the early 1970s. His ENTIRE ersatz priestly formation took place in the 1970s.
This man claiming the Chair of Peter is THE FIRST CONCILIAR POPE TO HAVE BEEN FORMED ENTIRELY IN THE POST-CONCILIAR SYSTEM!
HE IS A FRUIT, NOT A CAUSE, OF VATICAN II.
He is from a different generation than those to which Bergoglio, Ratzinger, Wojtyła, and Montini belonged. Prevost is a Baby Boomer -- an American Baby Boomer!

I attended a novus ordo parochial school during that era and it was even gαyer then than by today's standards...if that can be believed. We had the felt banners, the butch women giving the readings, priests in rainbow vestments that Elton John might wear, the guitar masses, the horrendous hymns, modernist architecture with those ubiquitous Matisse inspired stained glass windows, the jokes from the pulpit about making the sermon brief so as to get home before the NFL game starts. The pastor was an old Irish priest who was in WWII and had seen heavy action but despite being ordained in the 50's he went along with it all. I had no clue the mass had ever been any different but I knew something was unsatisfying about it, something very effeminate and tepid.
