Sorry, didn't get the memo.

Actually, now that I think about it, if you do as much justice to the forum rules as you do to Catholic Doctrine and interpreting news items and so forth, I'm confident you don't have any idea what you're talking about.

You should watch the profanity and the Sede talk.

Isn't the usual Sede slandering and paranoia reserved to a kiddie table in the "church in crisis" area of the forum?

Augustine Baker appears to be Caminus Pt. 2, starting out slow but gradually revealing his spots.  He has the usual acid, vituperative tongue of SSPX attack dogs, along with the lack of substance and penchant for name-calling.

You called me "smart-ass", and called the Holy Father "pridefull", for example.

But mostly, you're just mean-spirited, strident, petty and spiteful as far as I can tell.

http://eponymousflower.blogspot.com/2012/01/cardinal-siri-man-appointed-to.html


Prompted by the recent pictures of Cardinal Siri saying the new mass I decided to look into Cardinal Siri's legacy Genoa. From what i was able to gather so far it looks very good and this appointment is indeed good news.  One disgruntled modernist priest from Genoa wrote recently "Cardinal Siri told us 'Do not celebrate the new mass in my diocese, I did not support these changes'"

Of course we don't know exactly what this individual believes but just because he doesn't come out and condemn Vatican II doesn't mean he doesn't have that in his mind.

Another interesting thing I'll add is from an interview with Cardinal Siri from the Jesuit magazine America in 1963.

The interview opens..

"It was good to learn that this brilliant and forceful molder of opinion in the Italian Church had a sense of humor.  It came out when he told me how much he relished something that Cardinal Leger, Archbishop of Montreal, whispered to him as they walked along in procession on December 9 at the beginning of that day's canonization ceremonies. It was the day after the first session of the Council had ended . Many of the Bishops had gone home and the seats around the Altar at St. peter's were taken up by seminarians. Cardinal Leger whispered to Siri "Look-the Third Vatican Council!"  Cardinal Siri's smile grew wider as he recalled how Cardinal Leger was pointing at the seminarians of Genoa."

I can't help but chuckle a bit reading this post... it reminds me of my days on "Catholic" Answers where my posts were labeled as "mean-spirited" for defending Tradition. If anything is "mean-spirited" it's the hyperbole you post about sedevacantism. I wouldn't be so quick to cut down people who aren't fond of Benedict and Vatican II if I were you. Heck, even non-sedes like Bishop Williamson say that Benedict is "sick in the head with modernism". If you can't understand why Trads reject Vatican II, then you need take a break from this forum and gain some knowledge on the subject before you come back.

You're not defending tradition, you guys are just beating each other up.

I don't care, it's your funeral.

There's a lot of rash judgment, pride, presumption, possibly even sins against the Holy Ghost, around here.

Like I said, a lot of you guys just talk out of your hats, anything that feels good to you.

Um, excuse me, but are you NOT the same person who said that St. Thomas Aquinas was a heretic? Yet you're saying it is us who use "rash judgement"? I see straight through your hypocrisy, and it doesn't work.

As far as I know, it's not in the slightest controversial to refer to someone as a material heretic for holding an error without pertinacity or malice,  even one as catastrophic as denying there has been a Pope for the last hundred years and that there is salvation outside of the Catholic Church.

He wasn't a heretic because the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception was not a Dogma at the time he was alive. A heretic is someone who's beliefs contradict the Dogmas of the Church. Furthermore, the Church teaches that heretics cannot be saved.

Okay.  I think the SSPX at least flirts with schism.  I think sedevacantism is profoundly mistaken.  That doesn't mead I feel the need to use either term as though it is essentially an insult.

This isn't her forum.  Moreover, she may have posted here for a year, but I've probably been in Traditional circles longer than she's been alive and I frankly don't care what someone like her has to say about much of anything, in the long run.

St. Thomas wasn't a malicious heretic, in fact, his views were condemned by the University of Paris and competent ecclesiastical authorities.

You simply aren't treating people fairly here.  You don't know anything about the backgrounds of the people you are condemning; besides, many of the sedevacantists on this board have studied quite a bit of logic and philosophy, and you know it.  So, if you have to rely on knowingly spurious attacks, what does that say about your position ?  And, for one who talks about respecting and revering clerics so much, you sure do rip into the Novus Ordo hierarchy -- which you believe to be legitimate clergy -- pretty regularly on your blog.  You can't have it both ways.

Based on the kinds of typical responses I get from people, I'm thinking that there isn't a lot of formal training in the background.  Combine that with the typically bad attitude, and you've got some very trying and presumptuous people on your hands.

Where have I "ripped" into the hierarchy of the Catholic Church?

See, that's what the general problem is around here.  There are quite a few posters who shoot their mouths off half-cocked, make rash generalizations and presume to have knowledge they clearly lack.

I typically give these people more respect than they deserve.  I'll call them on their childish behavior and they'll like it.

Otherwise put me on ignore.

Come on boys, can't we all be friends here? Using liberal perjorative labels  like Feenyites, Lefebvrist and Sedist is not going to win any friends for anyone. Let's not fall into the modernists tactic of using perjorative labels in order to dismiss by implication the traditionalist arguments, as the misguided theories of a misguided sect leader.

Let your Catholic sources postings expond for you the truths of what you want to bring forward. Resist all ad hmonum attacks, and perjoratives!

My undergraduate degree did involve the study of logic and philosophy, and I have a master's degree from an ivy league school.  Are these the sort of credentials you think give my opinions weight?  

My credentialed opinion is that you are a bit arrogant.  I am probably your closest theological companion here.  I think Benedict is the pope, that my local bishop is a part of the Catholic hierarchy with whom I must maintain communion, and that the NO is okay if celebrated correctly and that VC II is an official but not infallible council, being pastoral rather than dogmatic.  We pretty much agree on this, right?  If you strike me as arrogant and condescending, what chance do you have of any kind of fruitful conversation with anyone else?

My undergraduate degree did involve the study of logic and philosophy, and I have a master's degree from an ivy league school.  Are these the sort of credentials you think give my opinions weight?  

My credentialed opinion is that you are a bit arrogant.  I am probably your closest theological companion here.  I think Benedict is the pope, that my local bishop is a part of the Catholic hierarchy with whom I must maintain communion, and that the NO is okay if celebrated correctly and that VC II is an official but not infallible council, being pastoral rather than dogmatic.  We pretty much agree on this, right?  If you strike me as arrogant and condescending, what chance do you have of any kind of fruitful conversation with anyone else?


Maybe you're too thin skinned?   I don't see you challenging people when they make claims contrary to what you just stated above.

Either you don't have a lot of time to comment, maybe spineless or maybe dishonest, I don't know.

It's a lot worse to be in a habitual state where you not only presume to have knowledge you don't have, but insist on presenting that ignorance as if it were fact in a habitual and strident way, than it is to be arrogant.

Like I said, if you agree with me on those points, then you should also agree with me that the strident opinions of some of the posters deserve to be challenged.
