Isn't that going to attract the wrong kind of seminarian? Like, the lavender variety?
I'm not saying all modern SSPX seminarians are lavender. But those young men who ARE of the lavender persuasion will be attracted to this new seminary ideal. THAT is the problem.

It is a foregone conclusion that Traddieland was infiltrated from day one of its existence.  The MO of the Enemy doesn't change once he's got us on the ropes.

Delicacy??? LOL  I am sure His Effeminacy Danielle Dolan could do a Masterclass on that one  ;)

Once again, wisdom from perhaps the most piercing social commentator of our age.

Fiftiesism is just a repackaging of something said by (among others) the anonymous author of The Interior Life. Said author called it what it is: materialism in piety.  He did so in the last part of the 19th century, well before any of our modern ecclesiastical 'heroes' were born.

Yes, the 50s was a spectacular manifestation of the illness diagnosed long before; however, Fiftiesism is (imo) a poor, inaccurate name for the phenomenon.

Perhaps, but it's recent enough, that many people have living memory of it, and even for those who don't, it's readily accessible and culturally relatable.  All you have to do, is to take familiar sitcoms, those lodestars of pop culture, and put an imaginary layer of Catholicism over top of them --- Happy Days, Leave It To Beaver, and so on.  Pretend everybody is Catholic, and imagine what it would look like.  Easy.
