Sorry, Gladius. I apologize for the personal attacks I have written against you just now.

Please be assured of my prayers and please pray for me.

Frankly, I am more than a little disturbed that Hobbles' focus on meaningless minutiae has merited SIX thumbs-up! WTF, people? Does anyone think anymore? So, the young and inexperienced Fr. G. used a term he might have been wiser to not use...B.F.D. Grow up! Hobbles has been on the WRONG side of this entire issue practically since it began and he still does not have the clarity or balls to admit it and give credit where it is due. Wake up, Hobbles. I love you but, if we were in the same room, I would slap you...hard.

I didn't comment or "vote" on the OP because I think it stands alone as a man making a public apology. As in all things, time will tell.

The meaningless minutia is actually quite important in this current crisis. It's not like a priest making an error in a sermon. The fruits of this seemingly small error are all around us mostly in the further fragmentation of tradionalists. Groups of Catholics are not united in the Faith because they are following some pseudo "authority" and their individual scruples. I'm fully aware the Shepherd has been struck, but these men and their errors are making things worse on a local scale.

Now I also understand that some clerics may speak this way yet not act as if what they've said is the reality. Those men are just using the wrong terms.

I was tying to look at who clicked down for the public apology and clicked a thumbs down. I did not mean to to that .. Matthew could you remove it

I fixed it.

I had no idea that someone could see who clicked on the thumb down, are you sure or were you just trying. Might be many such mistakes to consider. One time I wanted to click an up, but clicked the down by mistake, I felt so bad I just went around and gave that person an up click on several of his/her posts after that.

Gladius,

Express your opinions all you want, but please, literally for the love of Our Lord, please stop being obscene. Using initials really doesn't make it any less offensive. This is not language a Catholic gentleman should use, especially when there are Catholic ladies present.
