Absolutely! It's the pathetic attempts at trendiness that caused most of the modern problems, IMO. As long as the Church is faithful, it can't do trendy well; the hallmarks of trendiness are whimsical, fleeting, unpredictable, arbitrary,fundamentally unserious. All things foreign to the nature of the Church.
A "trendy" Church is like those parents who'd rather be a "pal" to their kids than parents -- they make crummy pals and that leaves no one being the parent.
Or like those Republicans who aim at being fake Democrats.
People like the real thing!
Memorable analogy! When the Church became just another "alternative" then it was no longer a sanctuary. And when everyone, down to the a local priest and congregation had a "say" in what the church will be, that it was no longer one Church, but like another First Baptist church down the road form another First Baptist church!
Some kept their statues and others turned their churches into protestant-like lecture halls. Some kept the Mass traditional and reverential and others turned it into guitar and cookie and grapefruit juice "masses" one can "experience" in other alternative "churches."
The alternative-friendly Church became fertile soil for weeds, such as Nanci Pelosi, Joe Biden, John Kerry, or Ted Kennedy types of "Catholics" who can say with a straight face that abortion is not incompatible with being a Catholic, who can promote and vote for abortion legislation, and remain in good standing in the Church, receiving the Eucharist whenever they show up in church.
