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.
Two things. First, that isn’t what I called you on. I called you on your pathetic attempt to tar and feather posters here with that same brush. Second, the mere fact that some other type has done it before hardly makes it right.

Looks like YOU are the one doing the tarring and feathering.

I can understand if you're angry at the Church for the loss of so many souls, but that's no reason to brand as "schismatic" all those more conservative and less naive than yourself, who've managed to keep the authentic Catholic Faith alive in their families despite the widespread apostasy of the last 40 years. You can go ahead and call us names if it makes you feel better, but please don't pontificate as if you have the only "patent" on St Philomena. Hopefully the following article will assist your understanding:

Now, please save your tantrums for when you're alone in your room.

Before you resort to further outbursts, please consider the following:
"It would do us well to reread the Epistle of St. James. His advice to guard the tongue is widely ignored today. The prime time sitcoms serve as evidence that the quick and witty retort has become the norm in friendly conversation. Are these persons truly better off after saying everything that comes to mind? Or do you get the feeling at the end of the segment that everyone is more wounded than before? Have we really benefited by replacing charity and restraint with this spontaneous and impulsive frankness? How I long for a return to the days of courtesy and civility."
The above advice is taken from the following article:
