     Bernie Brueggemann, a major Thuc line supporter had his funeral at SSPV.  So, that is one example of the random enforcement of the [man-made] rules.  I know first-hand other families at the school who received at SGG without expulsion.  


    Did you mean to say contributor, a somewhat stronger word than supporter? It would seem that this would show that even more so than hate, it is money that feeds the brutal metaphysics of SW Ohio traditionalism


    I guess when I said supporter I did mean contributer --actually, benefactor is the word I think we want.

    And I notice another error in my above quote-  I did not SEE first-hand reception of sacraments at SGG by ICA families---I was told about it from those who said they did.  Not that I'm ever going to rat anybody out, BTW.

    As far as I know, SGG didn't deny the sacraments to IC families until just a few years ago (I know of one case). That's about the time they started making noise with the "una cuм" issue. None of this appears to be a clear application of principle, and that's why I called it a "contest of wills or egos."
    It would be comparatively easy for us to be holy if only we could always see the character of our neighbours either in soft shade or with the kindly deceits of moonlight upon them. Of course, we are not to grow blind to evil
