Why is the neo-Catholic establishment so concerned about traditionalists? Schism maybe?

Not at all, though schism is the first word they fling at us. Even if I were schismatic--which, of course, is ridiculous, I come from a deeply Catholic family--why would they not greet me at least as they would a Lutheran or a Methodist? They tolerate anyone else except the SSPX. Only guys like me has them showering spittle. I can't explain it, except that it reflects in some unconscious way their own interiorizing of Rome's deep animus against Tradition. I don't feel the same way at all in reverse. Most of my resentment is aimed against the New Order in the abstract--but at ground level I don't really feel the same level of hostility whatsoever.
