. Outside of Free Republic one never runs into these kooks in real life. My Parish is huge, multi-cultural, multi-lingual, filled with converts, producing vocations and assorted ministries. Of course the springtime is here. But, it ain't noticed by those whose delight is dissent, detraction and depression.
I thought we Christians would be known for our living our lives in joy in Christ.
And, as Peter Kreeft says if you want Joy in your life, think of JOY as an acronym. Jesus. Other. Yourself.
To hear some self-described traditionalists in here one would think he was hearing Satre; Hell is other people - especially the Popes since the death of Pius XII.
Outside of free republic one never runs into these Traditional kooks? Well I hate to tell you but they are all around you, and if these kooks "societies" had the unlimited resources as the Vatican, and were able to build church for church, there would be no one less at the NO mass or the church for that matter
As far as other discussion boards, you are correct as many of them ban any discussion on the horrors of the church and especially Vatican II and topics are limited to "womans clothing", "JPII (the new poster boy for the Vatican II church", some scripture (from the politically correct retranslated "New American Bible" (the V2 church even had to retranslate the Bible as the DR bible was just not PC enough for them and actually might be considered anti-semitic and not ecumenisitic enough) etc etc
How can you defend this anti catholic doctrine the church teaches now? It deviates from everything the church taught for 1962 years. It is the church which has stopped being Catholic, not Traditionalists.
If Traditionalists are in error today, then the church was in error pre Vatican II and we all know that is not the case
I would trust St Thomas of Aquinas over Annibelle Bungnini anyday!

Thank you!
