The mocking of Catholic Tradition by those who are insecure about their fantasy utopia of happy liturgies with butterflies for everyone is so very disturbing. I wonder whether Jews or Muslims have huge packs of "faithful" within their religion who openly mock beautiful old traditions from within their faith. I'm sure they probably do, but I'm willing to bet they have less than we do. Stop being so angry, just smile and think back to the past 40 years that you've had to give butterflies to all and accept the fact that the Holy Spirit has gently lead (or perhaps tugged rather abruptly) the Church back in th right direction - towards a liturgy that is sacred and solemn in both the Ordinary and especially Extraordinary forms.
Secondly, I caved this weekend and actually watched some footage from "women's" "ordinations" on youtube. I was shocked! Why do these women want to be "ordained" into a church that they clearly don't really like? Nothing about their "liturgy" seemed Catholic to me at all. The music was wretched and sounded like something much more fit for a non-denominational church, their vestments were hideous and would never make it in any Catholic Church I know of, the preaching was wretched and the way they commentated through every moment seemed again very non-denominational. Furthermore, they added all sorts of insane rubrics (having EVERYONE lay hands on a new "Bishop" - EVERYONE PRESENT! Imagine the gum and dirt she'll probably find in her hair later). These women want to create a brand new church, so I'm not sure why they're demanding that they're Catholic "priests." Nothing about these "masses" screamed "Catholic." What exactly is stopping them from just swimming the Tiber or starting something new entirely?

It's really quite funny when you think of it.
They want, so very badly, to be priests for a religion that they - by the looks of it - HATE. There's nothing in that video that says "I love Catholicism and want to be a part of it!" What it says is, "I hate Catholicism and instead want it to look like THIS WEIRD THING."

This could be you based on how you interpret things.
If St. Augustine or St. Thomas Aquinas were to walk into one of my parish's Choral Masses, they'd recognize it immediately as the Catholic Mass.
If they walked in on one of those women priest ordinations, they'd have no idea what sort of pub brawl or weird parody they'd walked in on.
