Thank you Pyro.

To be fair to sandy there are some traditionalist here and elsewhere that I'm not proud of. I've told her that before. Heck I'm not proud of myself at times, being that I'm in a near constant state of sin here and elsewhere.

This being said, I certainly do NOT see the same focused fervor from traditionalists as I see coming from these anti-trad squads. It truly is pathological to be so obsessively perturbed by folks who worship Jesus in the fashion that has been done for centuries. They contend that it's because of their concern for our well being but that's nonsense and everyone knows it.

This is the same quirky mania that caused the modernist deconstrcutors to literally decimate our music, catechism and liturgy (among everything else they've destroyed).

What's worse is that many of them are far more upset with tradition than they are with homosexuality, modernism, heresy, loss of faith, the clergy crisis, wayward youth and the plethera of other hardships we're experiencing in our "springtime".

It doesn't make any sense and I honestly don't understand the bug-eyed determination that the hardcore anti-trads share.

Perhaps I can regain your good graces, although I don't really care...

I would be happy to execute (that means kill) Bishops who have molested children, or those who have knowingly and willingly conspired to cover (that would be obstruction of justice) for their priests who have done same.

However, I think that schismatics do not deserve execution. They should be forced, by whatever means, to confess that Peter is the head of the Church, and swear loyalty, OBEDIENCE, and fealty to him.

Of course, if they can't do that, then they are not to be preserved from the fate of the Bishops (above.)

Fair trials for all, first, of course. Torquemada shall be our model in all these things.

What some of us are perturbed about is the pathological obsessiveness of certain trads (not all) to continually put up threads by the reprehensible Christopher Ferrara, or Michael Matt, or Thomas Drolesky that trash the Pope and the Novus Ordo. In fact, none of these three men can write a word that's not a bash of the post-Vatican II Church.

If you want peace, stick to your knitting. Promote the Tridentine Mass. Stop putting up threads (as Land of the Irish and AskStPhilomena are won't to do) about the Pope only to lampoon him.

Some of the more strident on your side think it's cool to post pictures of the Pope kissing the Koran (if I never see that image again it will be too soon) or of clown Masses (as you have done in the past). Nobody has approved those actions, including me, your resident liberal.

So stop posting them. Just stop.

If the only way you can build up your case for traditionalism is to tear down the Novus Ordo, you have a very weak case.
