One thing I like about traditionalists (I’m sure they are thrilled), is that they are totally immersed in Catholicism. Because of the confusion and corruption in the Church since the 70’s most of us present sort of a “against” Catholicism. We are against dissent, against the political groups like Call to Action, against bad liturgy, against this or that idea (women priests, acceptance of a gay lifestyle, etc.), against changes in Church theology, against extreme traditionalists, against statements professed by a famous Catholic or a bishop’s conference, and against Abortion big time. Traditionalists present and pass on Catholicism without even thinking of having to refute these things. Sometimes it is easy to forget the first job is to learn and live Catholicism as handed down from the Apostles rather than to refute the popular view of what Catholicism is or should be.
