<> I take this as an admission Ultima couldn't answer the question posed in post 742. I am not surprised. It does seem to be the case that self-described "Traditionalists" are not half as "intelligent" and "well read" as they imagine themselves to be. (I have been greatly amused at the numer of folks he has told - on this thread alone - that they are intellectually challenged, over their head, etc etc)

Sitetest, how is it that you, a lowly N.O. type (and no doubt a Papolatrist) know what I am referring to?

When Ultima eventually discovers the name of this Saint and reads what he had to say, as a "traditionalist" he would be required to drop the appeal for an apology, correct? :)<>

Dear Catholicguy,

LOL.

I'm still filled with mirth after being compared unfavorably with Saddam Hussein gassing the Kurds. I told my wife that one. Her only comment remarked unfavorably on the stability and potential propensity for violence of ultima and his friends.

The funny thing is that I think ultima would have a tough time finding a post where I used language even half as vitriolic as he has used here. He seems to wish to make me guilty by association of every one of your posts. Well, it's quite amusing.

"It does seem to be the case that self-described 'Traditionalists' are not half as 'intelligent' and 'well read' as they imagine themselves to be.

As a not-so-well-read, obviously quite-intellectually-challenged Novus Ordonian (is that the proper title??), I share in your amusement. Especially in light of all the times that ultima has completely misunderstood what he has read and posted, all the times he has misquoted folks, mischaracterized and misrepresented what they said, and even the time he just completely made up an attribution of a quote to someone.

"Sitetest, how is it that you, a lowly N.O. type (and no doubt a Papolatrist) know what I am referring to?"

Uhhh...., well,..., poorly-read sitetest.... knows to what you are referring, because, um,..., well, I read it.

"When Ultima eventually discovers the name of this Saint and reads what he had to say, as a 'traditionalist' he would be required to drop the appeal for an apology, correct? :)<>"

Well, frankly, the circumstances under which it was said, by the speaker, and to whom it was said, closely parallel the current circumstances. Except that some may challenge your possibly slightly-premature canonization, CG. ;-)

A true Catholic Traditionalist, upon recognizing the source of your epithet, would be hard pressed to disagree with it, much less demand an apology for it.

I say that as one who prefers to avoid that sort of language.
