NYer.

This guy is just plain condescending. He assumes that all traditionalists are ignoramuses. Well at least in my circle of trads we already know this stuff. Why? Because we are interested in learning about the Mass. We ask questions. And we are extremely fortunate that we have a good and holy FSSP priest who takes the time to explain all of this.

Yes, there are trads who hold one or more of these 5 points but the majority are willing to learn. Unfortunately there is a lot of erroneous material out there with this type of disinformation which affects many trads, but as I said, most are willing to learn and change their minds.

The one with the simplistic view is the writer of that screed you posted. It is crap like that which is not only on par with the radical trad element, but it further drives a wedge between faithful Catholics on both sides of the fence.

Although I take issue with FrD's thought and am a bit put off by his style (condescension does come to mind), I think you're being a bit less than charitable in your response.

I don't think FrD maliciously wishes to shove trads around. Lighten up a bit.
