What the hell are you talking about?
And:
That's bull.

My, my, my! A little anger there? Did I hit a nerve?
Calm down a bit.

Where did I say anything about hatred for "these people?" I know a few great Legionary priests.

Ok. So you answered one question. Want to take a stab (ooooh, bad choice of words for you). How about... take another try at the others?

I just heard that Cardional Mahoney put the brakes on a Legionary high school being built in Thousand Oaks, California (just north of Los Angeles).
They are not allowed to build a high school in the LA diocese. No surprise there, really.
Sad, because it is needed.

Excuse me. Correction.

I know of a few great Legionary priests.

I will say that, several years ago, I had a telephone conversation with Legionary priest who was rather aggressive in questioning me about a possible vocation to the priesthood. (He contacted me after getting my phone number from another individual who apparently thought I would be a good candidate.)

The conversation started out fine, but went downhill after a few minutes, particularly after he "questioned" my commitment to the Faith because I wasn't sure I wanted to pursue a priestly vocation.

Thus, I can see why some Catholics would look at such a tactic as "coercive." It didn't go over too well with me, that's for sure.
