I need hardly add the things which Mgr Basil Loftus lobs at us in The Catholic Times.

"Some of the above writers have criticised liberals alongside trads, and others lump trads and conservatives together for abuse: we get it from both directions. But it goes beyond that. In terms of intensity, frequency, and the prestige of the writer and the forum, it is open season on traditionalists in a way it never is on other groups in the Church.

The Tablet has never published such an extraordinary screed, like Dr Casey wrote about us, about conservatives; nor has the Catholic Herald printed anything remotely as embittered and personal attacking liberals, as the stuff provided by Stuart Reid about trads. The same is true of the letters pages, the CTS, and academics addressing conferences. It's just not done, old boy.

One might assume this is a hang-over from the time when trads were assumed to be schismatic, but the attacks have actually intensified since Summorum Pontificum. Before then we were more often ignored. Now, it seems, we are a threat.

While this state of affairs continues, please don't accuse us of paranoia."

Liberal Catholics are the same as every other kind of liberal... they deny matters of legitimate freedom in order to force everyone to take part in their “enlightened” project, so that everyone may end up as miserable as they are.

Maybe some of us traditionally minded Catholics are just acting on the results of our “discernment”, good for what ails ya.
