There is a concerted effort to paint those who adhere to faithful, classical, orthodox Christianity and, most particularly, faithful Catholic Christianity, as "backward."

This message is particularly important in a time when every schism and non-Catholic denomination is in effect underbidding each other to make their brand easier to follow, less restrictive, and more hip than the other.
