Quote from: Caraffa
If such behavior continues it may be the undoing of Traditionalist movement.

Not! I think that we will still be here, until the very end. Our Lord promised that, didn't he?!

I think that there will always be a remnant, it just may be smaller at certain times. In fact the boost in the number of TLMs and TLM attendees since the MP will in my opinion decline over the next 25 years and I expect that the numbers will eventually be back down to the levels as though the MP had not happened. That may sound pessimistic, but the Trad movement will emerge stronger than before and perhaps a larger part of the Church as a whole. Consider it not pessimism, but "enchanted realism" as I see history repeating itself all the time, just in different places.

Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you?

This might be the perfect place to end this one. :)

It's interesting. Remember how God kept reducing the number of Gideon's army? In the end it was just 300 up against thousands but were victorious nevertheless. If the Modernism and lack of principle among Traditionalists is going to cull down the number of Trads to a small remnant, then Im going to make sure Im one of that 300!

A sword for the Lord and Tradition!

Sure. However, focusing on 'the little' things sometimes helps with the bigger things (or fish)

Or you end up straining at gnats and swallowing camels.
