>Who the fuck are these young people attending church?

That's unironically the point. All of these "spirit of Vatican 2" Boomers are the last generation that wants to seriously change the Catholic Church. They're the last generation that takes the Church seriously but also wants to fundamentally alter it with bullshit like gay marriage, women priests, that sort of thing.

Younger people, if they disagree with the Church, will just stop attending. If they ever attended to begin with. If they dislike the Catholic Church they just won't fucking go. So the young people that are left, that actually do attend, all fully agree with what the Church teaches, and do not dispute it.

This means that the next generation of Catholics in the West will be a lot smaller. But it will be better, too. And from this faithful remnant, the Church will grow again.

Ratzinger actually has a pretty based quote about this from way back in the 1960s.

I am pretty sure Ratzinger himself has repudiated much of the bad parts of what he did, including when he was Pope. I mean, he did issue Summorum Pontificum.

There IS a German who will let you escape the doom of the modern world. But it's not Nietzsche or Heidegger.

It will get worse for YOU fuckers. I am a right-wing Catholic, every single thinker and writer I like has never been touched by the Woke crowd because they never cared about them in the first place. All my favorite thinkers and writers came pre-canceled, so I have been able to enjoy them, read them, and discuss them with my like-minded comrades totally in peace, because that crowd wrote them off as bigoted, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic from the very beginning.

Whoever "ended" philosophy, whenever it was, the end has been undone. Philosophy has been restarted by Ratzinger.

Reminder that Benedict is the current final boss of Western thought. He is the only one to meaningfully respond to the postmodernists and the poststructuralists, and he has not yet been responded to in turn.

Well, maybe him and Alasdair MacIntyre.
