facepalm facepalm facepalm, lather, rinse, repeat.

The Dwight Longenecker of the internet is not the same guy as the priest I know... I mean he is the same guy but it sounds like two different people. Should I be graced to attain eternal life, Fr. Longenecker will be partly responsible. I'm a rad trad and he knows it, yet he didn't let that stop him from exercising his priestly duties in the confessional in a manner that I can only call miraculous.

He was also trained to say Mass by the pastor of this parish so it wasn't as if he was dropped directly from Anglicanism into Catholicism without any preparation.

I think Louie Verecchio is reading Fr. Longnecker wrongly. He is not talking about "traditionalism" becominbg passe, but rather a generational change in which both VII "liberals" and VII "traditionalists" give way to a new generation born two generations after VII, who are in fact traditionalists, but who see themselves as simply Catholics.

That's the sense I get from this quote from Fr. Longncker:

"The old folks would like to brand the young Catholics as “conservatives” or “traditionalists” or even “arch conservatives”. Some of them are, but most of them are not. They are young. They’re smart and they simply want to be Catholic."

The fact that they are considered "arch conservatives" by the grey ponytails of Vatican II, and that they see themselves as "just Catholics," means that the whole thing is undergoing a generational shift, and the more-traditional are becoming the "new normal."

That's good news, if Longnecker is(I hope) accurately discerning the signs of the times, and if Verreccio could wipe off his glasses and see it.

Indeed, it may well be that the vast majority of converts over the last fifty years, priest or otherwise, more properly converted to a protestantized conception of “Church” and not necessarily to the Faith in its fullness.

True that. I am one of them. By the grace of God I am now learning the true Catholic Faith whole and entire.

I lost interest in this garbage right about here.

Does Louie Verecchio speak with Michael Voris anymore? I know they disagree about whether the Pope should be criticized.

[Jim Noble]

One who embraces with gusto every word that has come forth from the mouths of the last five popes would have at least one foot in Protestantism

That is absolutely true.

YOU "think about it".

Universal pastor of all Christians. Pontifex. Vicar of Christ in Earth.

By all means, think about it. Think hard.

Dwight Longenecker is a self-hating Southerner who believes in evolution.

Fr. Dwight Longenecker, posting on his“Standing on my Head” blog (appropriately named given the frequency with which pontifications seem to flow so freely from his other end), recently suggested that traditionalists (aka Catholics) are “getting old.” Obviously, he’s never been to a “traditionalist” gathering to witness the overwhelming presence of young, often quite large, families. “Not only are they dying out,” he wrote, “but their ideas are dying out.”

Niiiiice.
