"We are often told that those who reject this Conciliar-Synodal Church are like those who could not recognise Our Lord in the humiliations of his Passion, and so either rejected him with the Jews or fled with the Apostles."

When I converted to the Catholic Church from the New Order sect, my kids (and kids are often more astute than adults) pointed out that it was ALMOST like the New Order secret had an aversion to the Passion, and so minimized trials and sufferings, and went out of it's way to make people feel good.

When they pointed that out, I was drawn to the situation in Esdras, Nehemias is asked, after the returning Jews have sold their children to slavery and mortgages their corn, they are in so much suffering. He responded that it was because they, in their desire to minimize suffering in a worldly sense, abandoned God. The trials of the New Order are self-inflicted, because they abandoned the True Faith...not some mystical passion.
