If actually traditional Catholics had had the sense to stop feeling sorry for themselves over the early excesses of the "spirit" of Vatican II, depended upon the promises of Jesus Christ that He would be with His Church all days until the end and that the gates of hell would not prevail against it and, accordingly, stomped out both the excesses of the "spirit" of Vatican II AND the Lefebvrite schismatic cancer in its cradle, the Church and its loyal members would have benefited immensely but instead that cancer of hatred for John Paul II (the Great) was allowed to fester and metastasize in its misguided devotees.

If you do not wish to advertise AQ here, that is understandable. BTW, no one authorized you to be the spokesman for the "global English speaking trad community" of schismatics following in the tradition of dead and excommunicated Marcel Lefebvre and enemies of the papacy throughout history. Also, lest there be misunderstanding, as you put the word "pimp" in quotation marks, you do so for reasons other than quoting me since I seldom use that term and have not used it in regard to you or AQ or even the schism.

Finally, you are joining political error with religious error when you blithely deny that Bill Buckley was a conservative libertarian "by any imaginable definition" and also imagine that your eccentric assertion enjoys some sort of universal agreement. That is the style of argument that has been perfected by the communists and emulated by SSPX: "Surely no one will disagree that (insert falsehood)." "As everyone knows (insert falsehood)." It is the art of Daily Workerspeak and would hopefully be rejected as a method by anyone claiming Catholicism.

Are you still prattling on? For cryin' out loud, you've reverted to pinging ninenot to my posts... lol. Just like old times. This, however, is not old times. I have neither the time nor inclination to play with you guys.

I tried being unfriendly - it didn't work. Perhaps reverse psychology; If I send you a box of chocolates for St. Valentine's Day, will you go away?

It's a good bribe. I KNOW you like chocolate.
