The youth of the Society are leading the way! While in Rome they will atone for the obduracy of their parents and the backwardness of the old Society. And gratuitously engage in this mercy-fest ..... but hopefully not to the extent of visiting the Vatican's gαy bars and sauna, as tempting as they may be.I like the symbols of revolution on the brochure: the American flag and the Eiffel Tower. Some things are now taken for granted and no longer arouse feelings of awkwardness because of the new direction. Whatever traditional Catholicism remains will be reflected in fine architecture and statuary; enough to compensate for the attention that will be shown to other spectacles.
Who does not want old Rome (or Chartres cathedral) as a backcloth for earnest enterprise? Such places have been neutralised over the centuries but can still act as picturesque and magical venues for the adornment of reputations and causes. These eager pilgrims may feel they are being true to the past but they are doing it on terms decided by the controllers of the present. Unless they are storming St. Peter's with sharpened swords to remove the usurpers without mercy, they are mere visitors to a theme park.

Unless they are storming St. Peter's with sharpened swords to remove the usurpers without mercy, they are mere visitors to a theme park. The modern world and the conciliar church sustain themselves upon empty symbolism, keeping warm in the frigid climate of a Judaized culture by wearing the cloak and the hat of Tradition.
