I don't disdain the history of the Church.

Oh, please. When have you ever said anything favorable about the post-Constantine, pre-Vatican II Church?

I suppose you would have preferred that Chartres and St. Peter's had never been built. Why don't you join one of those Calvinist Reformed churches where the buildings are as plain as possible so that there are no "distractions"; you'd fit right in.

The papal tiara and the other royal trappings of the papacy are needed more than ever these days in order to remind the faithful that the Church is not a democracy.

Objecting to the things you object to is Protestant, and that's the nicest word for it.

LOL!! If you like to see bishops wearing white gloves and $10,000 rings, the SSPX has a bishop who does just that, when he's not telling women they're too dumb to go to college.
