Sounds like the priests admit they came on a bit strong. The onus is on them to gently explain and “sell” changes like eliminating altar girls.
The congregation for its part it missing a big opportunity to learn patience and humility.
Not to late for the Holy Spirit to heal things up, but the desire has to be there.

Uh, no it’s not. The libs and dissenters take that line. You really ought not fall for it. It’s called “blaming the victim.”
I think the priests probably explained and explained and explained. But this is the Wisconsin State Urinal writing. You cannot trust anything published in that rag.
I don’t the the problem was with the explainers but with the explainees. When a child is acting up and parents explain and explain and explain, it can happen that the child just doesn’t seem to be capable of getting it.
It’s called “My fingers are in my ears. Not listening. Not listening. Not listening.”
Typical 3-8 year-old behavior?? Just about the developmental level of libs.
imagine they did

Sitto!
If you have a problem, take someone with you and go talk to that person — don’t go around them to the bishop!
Yeah ...
Sorta like how girl altar boys, ugly buildings, ugly music, ugly alterations to the Liturgy, disobedience, and outright heresy have been "gently explained" and "sold" to orthodox faithful Catholics over the last 40 years.
