"Fr.Shirilla told a reporter for the Michigan Catholic that, regarding those who want the Tridentine Mass, "We have to fight them tooth and nail." Fr. Shirilla was relieved of his post in 1993 when he was identified as a serial child molester, who favored young altar boys, going back more than 20 years. He never quite lost favor with Cardinal Maida, however, and was secretly re-assigned seven years later as pastor of a parish in the Diocese of Gaylord, Michigan."
That's the take home message. Vehement opposition to the traditional Latin Mass is often a sign of a serious underlying disorder. It makes me wonder about the disorientation of some anti-traditionalists on this website.
By posts like that you reveal both your own “serious underlying disorder” and your dishonesty.

You try to tie opposition to the Tridentine to pedophilia. You then try to take it one step further and suggest that all those on this website who are against the nasty schismatic traditionalists like you are somehow similarly disoriented.

Grow up, if you can’t debate without childish ad hominems like that, you have no place on an adult forum.

First, very, very, very few Catholics on this website are against the Tridentine Mass. So even if your first line of BS were somehow true, that would hardly imply that those who oppose you here at FR are disoriented. I’ll use myself as an example. Before your currant screen name signed up I was a fairly active poster, and I strongly opposed schismatic trads like you. Yet, I also frequently attend the Tridentine Mass. So your logic about the “disorientation of some anti-traditionalists on this website” has quite a bit of a hole in it.

What we really oppose here on FR isn’t the Tridentine, but the schismatic tendencies of some folks who act like you do. Quite frankly, I rather doubt St. Philomena would act anything like that. If you are going to chose her name, you could at the very least not disgrace it.

So grow up.

Dead-on, as usual.

Like this one: schismatic tendencies of some folks who act like you

So grow up.

No need to repeat yourself, you'll only look more foolish.

You object to Philomena's characterization--yet you call her a schismatic trad. I would say she is on the whole more on target than you, given your past whacky ideas about what constitutes schism.

It seems my comments were a bit too close to the bone - even though I'm by no means the first to identify a link between liturgical abuse (including opposition to the traditional Latin Mass) and disordered sexuality.
Roman Catholic Faithful has been exposing this link for years. Before you throw another wild tantrum, perhaps you should taste some of your own medicine:
"Grow up, if you can’t debate without childish ad hominems like that, you have no place on an adult forum."
