The liberal elements of the Catholic Church take particular issue with 'American-style' traditionalism as well, which they see as dangerously conservative (ie. the whole Taylor Marshall sphere).
If anyone could point me towards an explanation of why parts of the American Catholic tradition have remained fairly orthodox even as the broader Church becomes more progressive, I'd be very curious. Perhaps its due to the broader cultural climate that they're embedded within? Marshall is in Texas, while liberal icons like Fr. James Martin are in NY.

I agree with all your criticisms against the Annotated Cataclysm. But dude you need to cut your hair.
You really need to stop carrying water for Puritans, my dude.
I wouldn't count out Eastern Europe quite yet, though we may end up moving in a direction that is not quite Western.
