A Surprising Piece from Russell Shaw?

From what I have read by him on Opus Dei and the laity, is one correct in judging that this may reflect a change in his thinking: Recovering a Catholic Subculture? Probably not. The Catholic ghetto, the loss of which he laments, is not the actual physical neighborhood, but the various institutions and associations that had a strong Catholic identity, schools and universisties, mass media and publishing companies, and movements (Opus Dei) and organizations:

In recent years the pendulum has started swinging the other way. Signs of a revived Catholic subculture can be seen in such things as new, proudly orthodox colleges and universities, media ventures like EWTN and Catholic radio, a growing number of websites and a handful of publishing houses, and organizations and movements that work to promote a dynamic Catholic spirituality -- especially an authentic spirituality for the laity. These coexist side by side with individual parishes, even whole dioceses, that have gotten the message and taken it to heart.
