Also, instead of whining about the Seattle Archdiocese, move to a Catholic one of which tyhere are plenty even in America. If you won't, then inquiring minds may wonder whether you are serious in your complaints in which case you place far too low a priority on your salvation compared to material considerations and whether you value convenience more than the Faith while insisting on service to your cultural tastes. I take it that you freely chose Seattle University in spite of its deviations in other directions.

Are you implying the Seattle Archdiocese under Archbishop Brunnett is NOT Catholic by telling me to "move to a Catholic one"? There will never be a perfect diocese, especially in our times, so one must pick their fights. What would you do if your bishop died and Archbishop Brunnett is transferred to your diocese? Will you keep moving until anything resembling orthodoxy is gone? You also seem to think that in the Seattle Archdiocese one's salvation could be in danger by practicing the faith here. Why should this be if it is Catholic, headed by what MUST be a truly Catholic bishop? How can one's salvation possibly be in danger by adhering to a Catholic bishop? How would I explain this to my bishop?
I would not have attended SU if I knew the pit it was before I started. I also thought: "what could be wrong with a "Catholic" university?" There were no alternatives at the time for those working needing night school classes (UW just started an evening program, but I am almost done).
I would like to say I am serious about my faith, which is why I attend the Traditional Latin Mass. It is certainly not convenient for me, as I have to drive several hours each weekend for Mass. It would be much more convenient to go to the NO "Mass" a few blocks away.
You are an odd duck - you deride the NO bishops and AmChurch almost to the point of calling them heretics yet say if I don't obey them I am schismatic. In your posting to me you quite openly admit the Seattle Archdiocese is unCatholic and dangerous to the faith. Are you saying Catholics should move to another diocese because the Seattle Archdiocese and Archbishop Brunnett are dangerous to the faithful here? Or is it only dangerous to those who are not invincibly ignorant such as myself? THAT is your apparent solution to fixing a "bad" diocese - our shepherds are incompetent so move away. What are you telling me about the pope who is indirectly responsible for the souls here and directly responsible for our bishop?
At least I never have to worry about you moving here, unless we get what you personally deem a good bishop.
