A timely work. Does it include a chapter on alternative choices of worship for those frustrated with liturgical abuses in the Novus Ordo liturgy (such as the Indult Tridentine or Eastern Catholic Rites)?
Why focus on this when there are so many serious problems? At the church in my town they tell people that baptism is not necessary and that they will do it to ``appease the grandparents.''
Uhm, no-thanks. I'll pass on your book.
I didn't think you were a pot stirrer and would have expected much better from you. Next time you're putting on your phony "nice guy Catholic" routine on that silly EWTN show, remind yourself of this piece of garbage - which is unnecessarily inflammatory and untrue straight from the title.
Go ahead and make oodles of ill-gotten money through slander, I hope you spend it wisely.
I didn't even realize that. Nice partner in crime co-author Patrick.
Your effort seems misguided. Traditionalism is hardly a major problem in the Church today.
In the Diocese of Cleveland, Bishop Pilla has a Rainbow Gay Pride banner on his website and a Seminary Professor is leading the fight for Futurechurch.
I am quite sure your time could have been better spent.
ALMOST ANYONE is more Catholic than the apostate Karol Wojtyla, or his predecessor in apostasy, Montini:
John Paul II giving "communion in the hand".
John Paul II with the Trilateral Commission (Apr. 18, 1983).
John Paul II with the B'nai B'rith (Mar. 22, 1984).
John Paul II at the Roman synagogue, where he "prayed for the Messiah who is yet to come". (Apr. 13, 1986).
John Paul II with heretics, schismatics and pagans at Assisi (Oct. 27, 1986).
Small statue of Buddha on an altar at Assisi.

John Paul II being anointed with the pagan "Sign of the Tilak".
John Paul II at "Mass" in Papua, New Guinea (May 8, 1984) where the epistle is read by a bare-breasted woman.
John Paul II Kissing the Koran
Paul VI gives up the papal tiara, the traditional symbol of the three-fold papal authority. None of his successors would consent to accept it.
Paul VI with his grotesque "broken cross" which is an utter insult to Our Lord.
Paul VI wearing the Ephod of Caiphas, showing that he thinks more of Old Testament faith (Judaism) than Catholicism. No pope before him wore such an emblem.
Close-up of the Ephod in the previous photo. It contains 12 stones representative of the 12 tribes of Israel.
Paul VI addresses the United Nations on October 4, 1965, calling it (and not the Catholic religion) the "world's greatest hope".
Paul VI with the Protestants who assisted in the formulation of the Novus Ordo Missae.
Next, you'll be called a member of the "lavender mafia."
The people who most need to read your work, won't.
Not only are you sowing more division between Catholics who are trying to serve the cause of orthodoxy, but your work will risk further alienating those whom the Holy Father desperately desires to see fully regularised within the Church again.
As your work will no doubt help to frustrate the manifest mind and will of the Holy Father, perhaps you should examine your own conscience for the presence of a "schismatic mentality".
Shame on you!
Don't pretend you don't hear us Patrick.
I could never leave the Holy See. I would not even go to church at all if I did not have the Pope and the Magisterium to lead and guide me.
Another thing that bothers me is the way the papers like the Remnant are constantly gossiping about the bishops. Isn't gossiping some sort of a sin? The terrible part of gossiping is that the more you read the more you need. It has to keep getting more and more outrageous or the reader is not happy.
What's the matter, is Envoy losing it's circulation base?
Thank you Mr Madrid. I will certainly be looking forward to seeing your book. There's a lady in my parish who sells "Truly Roman Catholic Books"(yes,that's really the name of her bookstore)twice a month on Sundays after Mass.I'm sure that she will be selling the book.I hope someday you'll write a book on the E.O.Church.
Too funny. Don't know anybody like that. Certainly not on FR .... ;-)
Still trying to find some time to watch your show on EWTN. I got cable awhile back. Pay for but never have time to watch it ....
Great!
I appreciate the fact that you use your own name and if you say something we disagree with here or in your magazine,we can question you or take you to task for it. I myself would never be so brave. I picked a name that allowed me the latitude to be flippant,amiably eccentric or a bearer of accidental treasures without identifying myself.
Looking forward to your book!!
After reading your book title, I didn't bother to read your commentary. I guess I have read more than my share of the same drivel. The title alone is blatant commercialism, designed to appeal to the majority of un-churched Catholics, who wouldn't know a Sacrament from a sacramental.
For instance, what would be the definition of an extreme traditionalist, as opposed to an ordinary traditionalist, and how would one, as compared to the other, stack up with the Catholicity of the Pope?
Would a fair statement be that an extreme traditionalist believes every doctrine and dogma promulgated by the Church prior to 1962 to be sacrosanct, whereas the Pope does not?
Has it ever occured to you, or any of the others throwing rocks, that traditionalists have been given the Grace to do exactly what they are doing, and may be the remnant promised in Scripture?
There is nothing wrong with making a buck, but at the expense of your Church? "What does it profit a man...."
