BTW, my name is Bustard.

I prefer the "Arrogant" part, it suits you so well.

I was there, Charlie.

For someone so concerned about being addressed with the correct name, I see you prefer to call others by made-up monikers, but you do like to make-up things, don't you? Charlie seems a reasonable name to be called, so feel free to use that along with the other name you called me, "pin head".

See #47. If you read my post thoroughly, I said I would check to see if the Chapel was a SSPX Chapel 15 years ago. When I get absolute confirmation from the only reliable source, I'll let you know. A priest from the SSPX may have been asked to say a Mass there, but that certainly doesn't indicate any affiliation with the Society and I am confident there was never any official affiliation. After all, how many priests know how to say a Traditional Latin Mass these days, how many even know any Latin - an SSPX priest may have just been doing them a favor.

I'm not the one who was engaged in name-calling and being overarchingly rude, there will be no apology forthcoming as you requested. As I said I don't believe any part of your story, especially that parishioners told you that you were going to hell if you went to a NO Mass. It is too silly to contemplate, and impossible for you to defend. "I was there" is not good enough.

#47 isn't your post, it is sitetest's. According to my findings, the Dreadful Diocese of Richmond acquired the chapel in 1992, and turned it over to the Benedictines. 15 years ago was 1987. 1987 is before 1992. In short, I was there before the Benedictines took it over. According to sitetest's and my findings, their priest came from the SSPX. According to sitetest's findings, they also had a priest from the SSPV. sitetest's post on this thread is the first I have ever heard of SSPV involvement with that chapel.

Mr. McDuell reports being there 5 years ago, and that the people behaved decently. Perhaps the Benedictines improved their attitudes. One can hope so, anyway.

The fundamental fact remains the I know whereof I speak. By your own admission, you do not. Why don't you grow up, and admit that some Traditionalists are poor exemplars of Christian Charity, and that I had the misfortune to encounter a group of them.

When I get absolute confirmation from the only reliable source
And what is that source, and why should I trust it? Who says it's the only reliable source? Why indeed should I trust you? I've already found errors in your post, and you've heaped calumny upon my head.

It is too silly to contemplate,
I don't really care what you can or can't contemplate. If my own eye (and ear) witness testimony isn't good enough for you, that's your problem. What do you want, videotape? Sworn, signed statements from each parishoner I spoke with? From fifteen years ago? Are you nuts? I didn't go there to do an expose on a bunch of Traditionalists with bad attitudes; I went there for Sunday Mass.

I doubt that I will be replying to any more of your posts on this topic. What I have said is, to the best of my knowledge and understanding, the truth. If you can't handle the truth, too bad. God bless you.
