‘Catholic’ Is it your impression that ‘Catholic’ is an epithet on FR?

Alerting the mods. That's cute.

I hope that Catholic isn't an epithet, being that I am a devoted one and that I run one of the most widely read Traditional Catholic websites on planet earth.

Buckley was very much a new order (yes, that's what I actually wrote) Catholic, who spent far more time rubbing elbows with the VIPs at Commentary magazine than time in confessionals with traditional priests.

Before you sick the mods on someone, try phonics.

Since the new order of the Mass did’t start until about 15 years after Buckley founded National Review, and nearly 10 years after he assisted in the forming of YAF, you have some chronology problems.

Why not tell Lucius Cornelius Sulla the name of your website so that he (and other FReepers) can go there and judge for themselves just how "traditional" and "Catholic" the SSPX, dead Marcel Lefebvre, living Fellay and de Mallerais and Holocaust denier Williamson and their adherents are or were and, just possibly why they were excommunicated and declared schismatic by John Paul II?

The quite traditional late Fr. Kevin (?) Fitzpatrick was Bill's priest. Fr. Fitz said Tridentine Masses regularly at Stamford and sometimes at New Haven.

Any significance as to the choice of Commentary magazine as associates of Bill? What you call "traditional" priests (SSPXers) lack the faculties to hear confessions in non-emergency situations since they are not given those faculties by diocesan ordinaries. Is that not true? Therefore, by accessing the sacrament of Penance through the diocesan priests, Bill had resort to priests with actual faculties. What do you actually know about how often Bill confessed his sins and to whom? Bill lived in the Bridgeport Diocese in Connecticut and his diocesan ordinary was Bishop William Lori, the Supreme Chaplain of the Knights of Columbus, an order never in schism and therefore, according to SSPX, "new order." Right?

I never sic the mods on anyone. We can all fight our own battles.
