NewbieVA: Since you joined on Augsut 24, 2005, a mere 26 days ago, I will assume that you are not suggesting that veterans here should "take a hike" from FR.

Since you have not yet become a Catholic (that's perfectly obvious), you would have some gilt-edged nerve suggesting that someone who Catholic for nearly six decades take a hike from a Church not yet and not likely to become your own.

It is hard to resist the obvious conclusion that you do not know what you are talking about, a common condition among the adherents of the schism.

If you think you are becoming a Catholic while your actual motive is to be an SSPX-adhering dissenter and schismatic, don't bother. Our quota of self-defined, make-believe Catholics adhering to Marcel's schism and/or others has been satisfied and needs no additions. You can be a Marcellian. You can be a Roman Catholic. You cannot be both. The choice is yours.

It is stunning to notice how much you think you know compared with how little you actually know.

BTW, the language you quoted was meant to be an opportunity for you to have a soft-landing if you were naive in your errors. Instead, you rose to what you perceived as bait and did not blame the priest who denied dogma, Scripture and his own obligations. That says a lot. None of what it says is at all flattering to you.
