You must miss that dignity and grace.

As will you and your fellow schismatics soon enough. Anytime a sect attempt to seize a charism of the Church for itself it is not long before it becomes distorted. Those who sought to use the Bible as their own and not as a document of the Church distorted its meaning. Just the same in seizing upon the traditional mass which belongs to the Church it will become distorted.

Sorry st., but this makes absolutely no sense to me. I have no idea what you're talking about. What does "seizing the traditional Mass which belongs to the Church" mean, exactly? The Novus Ordo discarded the traditional Mass, they Protestantized it. How can carrying on the traditional Mass which has remained the same for centuries and which several Popes in their Encyclicals forbid making any changes to, become a distortion of it? I think you need to brush up on your Church history.
