I know a lot of RadTrads, and yes, they are really bad as individuals. I dated an ex-SSPXer once upon a time, and she made the Puritans of Massachusetts seem like hedonists.
I still think criticism of Vatican II is legitemate. If I had to be stuck with a Card. Mahoney Mass and a Pivarunas Mass and only had those two choices, I would take the latter.
But seeing as I am an Eastern Catholic, I probably would avoid both. I know a lot of Byzantine Catholics who think the Latin Church ceased to be Catholic after Vatican II. Choiced between Pivarunas and Eastern Orthodoxy, I would take Eastern Orthodoxy, besides the Orthodox have their own share of wackjobs. (HOCNA, parts of ROCOR, the Old Calendarists)
Rome isn't the only game in town, even if Roman Catholics think so.
Spoken like a true schismatic.
The Body of Christ isn't a game - it is a deadly serious matter.
The Holy See is the sole earthly source of authority in Christ's Church.
