I believe you are overthinking things.
I would say a main reason os because it looks cool.
Compare the cathedrals, rituals amd gregorian chants that catholics have compared with protestant's barns bleak mega churches, lack of rituals and christian rock.
Also maybe it's just me but this seems to me to be mostly a american problem. You don't hear about this kind of thing in the protestant parts of Europe

its a 2000+ year old religion that appreciates and reveres God and his creation. all the trad cath memes look cool compared to soyboy atheism, noneism and protestantism.

except every mass ive been to was a guitar mass save holy week and christmas.

a lot of trad cath are formerly-protestant-became-atheist-formly-atheist-now-i-know-sola-scriptura-is-garbage-looking-for-historic-christian reactionism.

i dont know how theyre going to reconcille ethophyletism with their priest. and the Orthodox had the matt heimblach problem until a few years ago.
 
They're young and most people are dumb, esp. the young ones. If they're actually serious enough about their LARP to read and think a little deeper about what it means to live a healthy life in a Christian framework then that's great imo.
Really I think all you needed was

"No real spirituality, LARPS as a christian"
"Only converted because he thinks trad Catholicism is based."
"Full of convert zeal, will eventually convert to something else."

They'll eventually move on to something else, or learn more about their faith and LARP less.
*or they'll become catboys and sleep with Nick Fuentes
 
We should relax about sedevacantism. Francis is probably a globohomo hologram.


There is of course Bennyvacantists who believe Benedict is the Pope. I suppose Fr Ratzinger isn't as bad.

The less said about most Catholic schools, the better.

Sweden has no less than nine regular diocesan traditional Masses. Strangely, Portugal has maybe two, with the SSPX providing as many.

The 'New' or Boomer Mass is a place for the old, while a traditional chapel will be noisy with babies.
 
Retarded zoomers from blue areas trying too hard to rebel against their slightly left of center parents. Same reason kids LARP as communists or troons. They're retarded and trying way too hard to spite mommy and daddy.

I don't get the appeal of "trad cath" mainly because many of these zoomers have a view of the Catholic Church in some sort of weird utopian and idealistic way while in reality it's a flawed 2,000 year old institution that's corrupted itself and it's message many times over to appeal to the times. Around 70-80 years ago the Catholic Church was way more traditional and against modernity as well as communism. Now the church is practically ran by a heretical jesuit from Argentina who sheltered communists in the 70s and 80s. The problem with following a religious organization is that they have a tendency to corrupt over time. Seeing the history of the Catholic Church up until the Protestant Reformation, the catholic church had become a corrupt and decrepit organization, it still happens with the catholic church even today. I will also now declare that despite this is not an excuse to be an atheist or to turn away from God as I still believe in a God but not organized religion.

TL;DR, Deism is based and catholicism is cringe.

That's exactly the appeal of being tradcath: the institution has gone off the rails in the last century, and it takes energy to reconcile the clarity and vision even of something so modern as the Baltimore catechism with going to mass with boomers and singing "On Eagles Wings". The church of boomer feels doesn't offer any guidance on how to conform, which is something youths desire as much or even more as rebellion.

Zoomer trads combine the dual instincts to conform and rebel into one: manuals on how to think and act with black and white definitions of morality on the one hand, and countercultural aesthetics and rejection of contemporary values on the other.

As a sidebar, one wonders about the authority on which you claim to have access to the "authentic" message of Christianity if it's been corrupted and obscured since ... 1962? 1517? 1054? 325?

It's gone off the rails even more in the last decade with the New Evangelization. Many priests are pushing newfag quasi-protestant programs like Alpha even as parishes are merging left and right
 
Protestants may have cringe karaoke churches, but the Catholics have so many more problems than the obvious. The Catholic Church structure is outdated, incompatible, and out of touch with the vast majority of Catholics, who typically only cling to the name. The priests preach contradictions to appeal to younger, liberal Catholics yet outwardly restrict themselves, but hide their real selves in a facade. Jesus, Mary, Hell, and saints do not make sense. Good works and deeds are not held in esteem as much as they should.

Catholicism preaches family values but goes against it's own interests. They attempt to gatekeep God from individual relationships and build upon lies. I hate rainbow vomiting consoomer degenerates just as much as the next guy, but Traditional Catholicism is dying; So is Liberal Catholicism. It's eventually just going to degrade into tradition LARPing in every Latin community. Nobody wants to become a priest and lie to others and themselves.

The Trad Zoomer bullshit is the beginning of the last breaths of the Catholic Church in a whimper. They conflate morality and virtue with religion. None of these Trad Zoomer faggots have a say in their own church. The Catholic Church has three choices: Reform the entire system and analyze beliefs, die out and be replaced, or do both in a schism.

if i remember correctly the catholics are the only major christian denomination that is actually growing instead of shrinking, due to their strong foothold in africa.

in the west though, you're kinda right. catholics seem to be trying a weird hybrid approach where they formally stick to their values and beliefs, but in practice actually cuck out and submit to the progressive secular zeitgeist like half the time. this creates a situation where the secular progressives still hate them, while the conservative believers gradually stop taking the church seriously and become disillusioned with it.

I don't know what you're calling major or if you mean total numbers or what, but Evangelicalism, Pentecostalism, and Mormonism are booming in Africa and Latin America, and in the latter at Catholicism's expense. You can't step outside in the USA without running into an Iglesia Batista or Iglesia Apostolico or whatever and there's even whole regions of Brazil and Mexico now where those predominate. In Chile Mormonism even has a bigger share of the population than it does in the United States. I know Pentecostalism is also supposed to be rather successful in South Asia.

Of course with the exception of Mormonism those aren't centralized churches, so they may not meet the qualifications of what's considered a denomination.

yes i mean total numbers, and by 'major denominations' i meant the broad categories of orthodox, protestant and catholic.
 
Left wingers created psuedo-trad larpers by pushing for increased urbanization and technological-dependency. The deracinated tradcath who larps as a based forest-dwelling corn farmer, but jacks off to virtual hentai 24/7, is a potent meme that will eventually become more attractive than intersectional leftism, as it allows zoom-zooms to fight for a higher cause while doing absolutely nothing. Left wingers have only themselves to blame for this

In that case it's totally possible Protestants have fallen by the large numbers of people abandoning Christianity. A lot of Evangelicalism's growth is internal poaching rather than converting non-Christians.
 
For me it's orthodox

I'm not an organized religion guy but if I was I'd want all the bells and whistles like chanting incense and latin smoke and all that good shit
