What's wrong, are they afraid they will have to contribute to the bishops annual campaign?

The Parishioners of St. Anthony's are worried that the ratty types who've infested our Church will eventually get their paws on it and ruin the chapel that THEY themselves built.

I don't blame them for feeling this way. The New Order manipulators have ruined everything else they've touched when they've been given enough time. If they don't make a complete mess of Saint Anthony's (or close it down) it would be an anomaly.

You also have to understand that traditional Catholics live their lives differently. To name just a few aspects of this; they fast stricter and more frequently, dress nicer for church, teach a stronger catechism, bury their dead differently and the women cover their heads (as per scripture) at mass.

The New Church in the New Springtime doesn't believe in or require any of this anymore. It's not just about the Mass itself.

Be careful. Just because someone professes to be a traditional Catholic doesn't necessarily mean that person is holy.

Some traditional Catholics are indeed holy; but some aren't.

Poppycock. They've got a new priest who they admit is a conservative *and* is devoted to the Latin Mass. But, he commits the sin of saying the Novus Ordo elsewhere, and for most cultic groups, 100% purity is demanded.

No one is stopping anyone at this church from living their lives differently. They can still fast, cover their heads, pray in Latin, etc.
