The smug one is yourself. What makes what you say a mockery is the way you accept anything but the SSPX--including the desecrations at Assisi and Fatima. You have no problem with Catholics praying alongside witchdoctors--so long as they don't attend the ancient Mass celebrated by SSPX priests. What hypocrisy! If you had a modicum of honesty, you'd recognize the double-standard instead of casting slurs.

I guess we have slurs to go around. Fatima wasn't the popes doing, but Assisi was. Assisi was not in the Church perse, and it was not a public display. He wasn't there to spread Animism, he was there to quell a storm from those groups.

You must read the papers, plenty of senseless violence. Hindu mobs are slaughtering Muslim ones. A Hindu killed a Catholic Missionary. In Rwanda the Watusi and Wahutu first killed any Catholics they could, even of their own minority, before each other.

We can all agree that the method of kill all those who do no accept Baptism is a affront to God. I know about the false stories that are told now about Conquistadors in the New World. I also know the true stories about the Jesuits in Quebec and New York.

Perhaps by bringing them together he can start a dialog, not help spread the faith from false Gods. Of course many won't let a few facts or reason get in the was of a good sensation.

Ahhh! The fruits of VC II, and Assisi I & II, in particular.
