That is the objective. From what I can observe in my experiences, it is working well.
Yes, and I have seen this at work up close and personal. I would say that 90% of the young men who walked into my Jesuit High School with (at least some sense of) Catholic faith left as agnostics or even atheists, and it is precisely this garbage that stuck in their minds. I used to believe all these stories in the Bible, but I now see how they were mostly made-up stories, without Adam or Eve, no Garden of Eden or serpent, no tree with fruit on it, without a Flood, without a parting of the Red Sea, with the Creation account being completely wrong from a scientific standpoint but just a fanciful fairy tale by which God meant just to say, "I made the world." (that's not far off from what Father Peter Scott said about it). And, oh, yeah, Moses didn't write the Pentateuch, but it was hacked together from a "J" source and a "P" source that are clearly in contradiction, including many things stolen from pagan sources. Gospels contradicted each other, and much of what was attributed to Jesus was done so just to make a theological point or to further a particular theological viewpoint. And the Apostles had some Resurrection "experience".
When you put all this crap together, no WONDER everybody's losing the faith.
And now tragically we have these priests posing as Traditional Catholics pushing the exact same heretical crap the Jesuists were pushing back when I was in school in the 1980s.
