Vatican 2 (updates such as being able to say Mass in a language that people can understand) pissed off a group of weird people, who have been quietly pretending that things the Pope says about not hating gay people aren’t official Church doctrine. It is surprising that they haven’t tried to set up their own counter Pope yet.

Lots of these American trad caths are people raised in that mega church vague non denominational Protestantism where rules don’t really matter. They get a little grossed out by the corporate slickness and callous capitalism (give give give, so we can improve our million dollar sound system), so they think they can keep doing what they’re doing - just with a little more class.
