The strangest things get thumbs down around here. I can't figure it out.
Anyway, I don't believe the list has been suggested as an enemies list and I certainly wouldn't support that or putting priests on it who haven't declared either way. But, in the interest of self preservation, it would be helpful to know so John Q. Trad doesn't approach Fr. Rostand and say "Hey, Father! We're getting an underground resistance group going. Wanna be a part of it?"
That's the point.

If your parish priest supports the sellout, what is his name/parish?
Or what other priests do you know support the sellout?
And, does this topic deserve its own thread? |
Dear Seraphim,
As far as I know, most priests are not what you call "supporting the sellout". Most are just waiting to see the details of the doctrinal preamble and the detailed practical aspects of the canonical structure if any are offered. To label them as "supporting the sellout" is premature and counter-productive to the cause of Tradition, at best. |
I am talking about starting aa list identifying those priests who have publicized their support of the sellout, not listing those presently silent in the matter.

| Matthew said: | Charity requires that we assume the best about people, and then be forced to admit otherwise after much proof.
NOT the other way around -- assume the worst, and take them off the "crap list" when proof is found/given.
So, long story short, the Catholic way is to NOT compile a list of the "silent" ones and claim they are pro-sellout.
We must assume the best -- that they are good Catholics AGAINST a sellout.

Who is talking about starting a list of priests silent in the matter?
I'm talking about starting a list of priests publicly supporting the sellout?
You find that uncharitable???
