I’m not as hostile as some seem to think
...whether you are hostile or not (I don’t find you so) is immaterial to me...
I’m no “hater.”
...I’m certain you are not...
...but I would like your reasoning as to why you think Traditional Catholicism is not representative of reality...
It’s not representative of the church. The magesterium, the Vatican, the priests, the bishops, the Pope himself. You are at odds with the church as it stands and as it has stood for over half a century. The vast majority of your fellow Roman Catholics do not agree with you, they are in agreement with the hierarchy. Voting patterns in the US bear this out. It’s not just the US, it’s worldwide. You and other traditionalist are just as surely outsiders as I am.
