Eleison Comments - Vatican War - Number CDXCV (495)

Wessex,

These bishops have nothing left to offer; at the end of a cul-de-sac there is only backtracking. We have seen this so many times elsewhere. They are in something of a denial when confronted with the transformation that is modern Rome and interpret it as a temporary blip. We would not mind a new Avignon filling the vacuum but we are bereft of true leaders. Econe showed some promise but was nothing more than posturing. Subsequently, more and more, we depend on hazy memories of a fast-receding Rome as sufficient justification for practising the faith.  It is nostalgia to the extreme. What use is a church without a dependable and visible functioning structure which as I write is suffering generational incomprehension? The timidity of R & R and its grossly inadequate prelates is no substitute.  


That is a stunningly clear analysis of things. You maintain your sharp edge, Wessex.

Yes.  The baby boomers still run the world and their nostalgia hinders them perceiving true reality.  In trad circles, this filters down to the younger generations who, having no connection to the past, and especially no connection with the V2 revolution, leave tradition and go to the indult and their local parish, because their trad parents/grandparents who should be viligant, see a latin mass and emotionally give their approval, or passively say nothing.  

The V2 generation of catholics accepted V2 wholeheartedly.  They had the full truth and dropped it by the side of the road because they wanted novelties.

The 2000s generation of trad catholics have the truth, but don't understand what they have.
