I don't know what town you were in, but it sounds like they had a non canonical form of Catholicism. Most of your "facts" are just wrong according to the church that you grew up in. Just a cursory reading of the Catechism is enough to show you that.

I've also heard postulated that it is another influence that is having an effect. Before 1990 we had atheistic communism as the "big evil" in the world. The natural response to this is for the population to become more religious. Now the "big evil" is religious zealots who are blowing people up for not believing as they do. (Keep in mind, I am not talking about fact here, rather popular perception. Leaving aside geopolitical motivations for terrorism, it is often painted as religious extremism.) The end result is a more secularized society.

A certificate of title is valid in every state as well. The only reason cars come with an MSO is so that ownership is tracked straight from the manufacturer. I work as a title clerk in a Ford dealership. I hand MSOs to customers all the time. Only time I don't is if they want us to get their tag and title for them. So neither and MSO or a title is anymore true than the other. Both are just a piece of paper that everyone recognizes as showing ownership.
