To many words to express his erroneous analysis. Impurity because we are Gnostics takes the cake! I think the writer had a few too many to drink. He must think he "cracked the code", trads are Gnostics. My comments in red.
1.) Becoming Gnostic & Elitist
2.) Impurity
Every Gnostic movement always suffers from grave problems of the impurity (Gnostic???? Impurity is of the world, it is as common today as eating. )
3.) Generational Spirits
The second problem is it’s becoming a generational spirit. What's a generational spirit? It's one in which if parents commit particular kinds of sins, they open the door to demons inserting themselves into their family life, and it gets passed from generation to generation. (Generational spirit? No, just bad parents who play Catholic just for the children)
4.) Isolationist Attitude
Then there's also another Gnostic side to the traditional movement, and that is this isolationist attitude in relationship to the world. (The world is what we are fighting against for our salvation. Was Our Blessed Mother an isolationist?)
5.) Depression & Despair
What are these some of the other problems? Well, becoming depressed. (The writer is the one that sounds depressed)
6.) Anger
Anger’s a real problem among traditionalists. (Anger is the real problem? No, the real problem is that there is scarcely even a Catholic clergy (Pope, Cardinal, Bishop, priest) left in the world to talk to, let alone real Catholics one can leave their children with.)
7.) Disrespect of Authority and the Magisterium
This negative attitude towards the Magisterium is one of the reasons why the Magisterium has been so slow to give us anything,(Wow! This is neck and neck in the taking of the cake with #2)
8.) Loose, Reckless Argumentation
Engaging in argumentation when they are intellectually unprepared out of a desire to defend what they think is true.
9.) Bullying People
We have to be sure that we're not always trying to seek to beat up on people. This is part of the whole anger thing.
10.) Driving Others Away
Trads, in my experience, tend to drive more away than they attract very often. (7, 8,9,10 are just the same dung the modernist been saying about trads since they took over the running of the show) )
