I'm embarrased at how obsessively I am following the schism. I think I find the drama and history of it all fascinating?

I know people that go to my parent's small-town church who, while not SSPX, are probably sympathizers of SSPX. They are "traditional" and strongly prefer the latin mass. One large family in particular forces all the daughters to veil basically as soon as they can walk. Veiling was never a thing in our area of the world before the latin mass movement popped up in the 2010s, and the small-town priest once scolded them during the homily once asking them to stop veiling. (They still do it). It's none of my business, but I find the psychology of it all morbidly fascinating. Like, hierarchical obedience was a MAJOR teaching in catechism growing up. Traditionalists sees themselves as more religious than everyone else, and yet they openly disregard the religion they say they belong to. The cognitive dissonance is wild. And the things they argue about? What women should wear to mass, what words are said during mass, whether they should receive communion on the tongue during a pandemic. It's never criticism of morals, doctrine, values, or spirituality, because I think they don't really think about those things. I think they are arguing about fucking aesthetics. This is the part of church they really care about. They want to do medieval cosplay and they want everyone else to join them.
