[old and tired]

It makes me wonder about the disorientation of some anti-traditionalists on this website.

I don't think it's fair to say Novus Ordo Catholics here oppose the Tridentine Mass. I know I don't. I freely admit that Traditionalists have been shabbily treated and believe that the awe and mystery surrounding a Latin Mass would undoubtedly have a positive effect on many people who have drifted away from the Church because of the normalcy and ordinariness of a Mass in the vernacular.

Even sinkspur, who's about as modern a Catholic as you're going to find on FR, is not opposed to the establishment of a Tridentine Rite.

You're exactly right.

Yet, the more radical among the traditionalists want nothing less than the total eradication of the Novus Ordo.

A Tridentine Rite would be the best thing to happen, all around.

Most Catholics - as you - are not opposed to the indult or even the SSPX, they're quite sympathetic in fact.

There is a vocal bunch of alligator jawed name callers in here and elsewhere who have a pathological hatred for traditionalists, and they take every opportunity to bad-mouth and malign us.

I won't mention any names but everyone knows who they are. The holier-than-thou who types the word "schism" 10 times more than they do "Jesus".
