This doesn't seem at all true. Wojtylian Neo-Conservatism is very much alive and kicking. I think there's a lot of false exuberance right now from traditionalists. What do you think?

Rorate is one to speak, they're neo-cons too.

I wouldn't say they're full-fledged neos, but in the last 6 months or so they're heading in that direction. One indication is that they continually allow commenters to push the "full communion" drivel.

Wojtylian Neo-Conservativism is definitely still around, it just continues to become more modernist and liberal. See the EWTN pop-Catholic crowd like Mark Shea, Fr. Groeschel, etc and the professional ~~simpletons~~ Catholics like Bill Donahue. In fact someone like a Michael Voris, who is at least more genuine, would have been seen as a Conservative Neo-Catholic 20-30 years ago, but today a borderline Traditionalist.

That is putting it mildly. Rorate's moderators have their noses so far up their Elder Brothers' nether parts that there is no need for the ADL. With "Catholics" like them, who needs the ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan?
