The patient & thoughtful explanations of some aspects of the many variations on the theme ( schism ) is appreciated. This marks the very first time I have found anyone still active in the Church with the courage to even address this issue. I am, however, convinced that the entire Church has become corrupted-by federal money, socialistic & communistic philosophies and suffers the same manner of degredation of all other of our institutions. When offices are maintained in Washington,D.C. to lobby for more money, this has become a government agency, not a Church. I have a long list of traditionalist sites on my favorites ( UnaVoce & many others amoung them ) & have read through several. I shall look into the several you mention, as some are new to me.

Encouraging but I think a purging is needed. The huge infusion of criminal aliens has brought up the numbers in the US, now we shall see if the federal ( tax ) money & donations of working class parishners is sufficient to satisfy US & Vatican needs. The last priest with whom I had direct contact now serves 3 life terms in Texas prison. He came to our parish with a charge from the bishop to put the finances in order, manage more efficiently & appropriatly to what he termed, "A half million dollar a year enterprise". The pews are now filled with people who can hardly speak English. I wonder what became of the 'half million dollar a year enterprise"?

Maybe a few of you Catholics over there in Dallas ought to encourage these folks to go to Blessed Sacrament or Our Lady of Lourdes or St. Cecilia's.

They'd probably be happier there, knowing there wasn't somebody looking down his nose at them.

Or send them to St. Michael's in Bedford. We welcome everybody.

Texican, hang out with the few good Catholics that you can find. Remember, the Church has been through very tough times before (always because we put these stupid humans in charge) and Our Lord has raised up good people against the gates of Hell.

We all would like to quit from time to time. That is why we need each other. I can personally vouch for the folks at 'Latin Mass' magazine, just spent last weekend with them. Una Voce, great folks doing the Lord's work. There are costless other small groups of people blessed by God who are willing to sacrifice and become martyrs.

It is easy to look at the corporate aspects and the non-pastoral priests, the neo-marxists priests, etc. But we don't do this because of them, we do it in spite of them.

Texican, you are one of us, find the least obnoxious parish around you and worship Jesus as his saints have done for the past 2000 years. Focus only on Jesus, in the end He is our hope and salvation. Great is your reward in heaven for your fidelity.
