>But it is not just online editorials that acknowledge this dark legacy the Boomers have dumped onto their children. Even renown clergy will attest to the problems that come from the Boomers; although, wizened clergy take it a step further, pointing to the Greatest Generation as well.
>According to Fr. Ripperger, The Greatest Generation (GG) actually qualifies as one of the worst generations in the history of the Church. Though most consider them to be “great” because they fought in World War II, they went to war because they had to. When they came back from the war, they were disgruntled. Discussions of virtue stopped with them. They did not embrace their cross or appropriate their suffering. Instead, the GG complained about their suffering. Unlike those before them, the GG lacked a virtue of mortification. Living members of the GG refuse to admit to the faults and errors that have increased under their watch, and they look at the last 40 years as a stepchild to be forgotten.
>But worst of all, it was under the watch of the Greatest Generation that the Catholic Church was handed over in shambles. They “blocked the passing of the Tradition of the Church intact.” It was their generation that brought us the horror that was the Second Vatican Council and its aftermath, the loosening of Church discipline, dissent, unorthodoxy, and the spread of immorality. Homosexual clergy was swept under the rug. On their watch, the priest pedophilia scandal began. In spite of official announcements from the hierarchy, the priests of the Greatest Generation appear to have rejected the teachings of contraception.
>And so, because the GG indulged their children and failed to pass on the virtues of self-denial, they beget children who, having no hardship, gave in to various behaviors of intemperance, lacking docility and judgement. The impious Boomers did not honor their ancestors, and they rejected the tradition that their forefathers blocked from them.

So, was the Greatest Generation really that cancerous to the Catholic Church, that you guys ended up with a hierarchy so shit and horrible that every non-catholic under the sun shitposts about diapas or is the author constructing some kind of whig history of degeneration?
