Fools exist, but that does not mean you, Lazarus, or I, Maria, are qualified to say who they are.

Those verses are meant for our own self-reflection, not neighbour examination.

So that my intentions may be clear:

I do not hate Archbishop Thuc, nor do I hate anyone here. Quite the contrary. Do not we all desire one another's salvation? I know I do.

I desire ardently that the holy sacraments of Our Lord may be respected as much as possible, and we all ought to strive to cherish the glory of God above our own personal sanctification. Observing this proper order of charity would enable all of us to see things clearly, especially when it comes to sacred things. His glory must be sought in the reception of the sacraments above what we hope to gain from them. The first end of prayer and worship is adoration. We must therefore seek to adore God in a manner worthy of Him, and then in that context, seek for what will be beneficial to our souls.

If a Novus Ordo Bishop did the same things as Archbishop Thuc, I doubt a single one of you would defend him this much. We ought all to be reasonably scandalized and disturbed at what took place near the end of his life. Whether he intended evil or not is of course not for us to judge, he has already been judged by the Divine Judge. But we have a duty to seek the sacraments that God desires us to receive, not what is most in line with our own comforts, pleasures, conveniences, opinions, views, desires, etc.

Now if you choose to persist in attributing malice to me and Tom, and others who quietly agree with us, that is on you and I tremble for the state of your soul. It hurts you more than anyone else.

Any good Catholic will have the prudence, light and charity from above to be able to see the matter clearly, and make the right decision.
