I will say that I don't dislike Stubborn. We have had decent interactions privately as well as publicly (although obviously this particular topic is one that is quite challenging for us...it is why both of us had stopped getting into the sede vs non-sede arguments for quite some time). He is typically charitable with me unlike some other posters I have had issues with here on CI.
I don't recall ever seeing him use "BS" nor "STHU" nor accusing others of lying (especially a bishop!) the way he has used them today, and I suspect this behavior is not just about what's going on in the threads.
Perhaps I'm a sucker (and maybe I'm wrong), but I feel badly that I've gotten on his case today. I think he needs our prayers right now. Really. Sorry Stubborn.
2V, I consider you a very special, a very blessed Catholic in the eyes of God who got bitten by the sede bug. I feel certain those who were raised, shall we just say, outside of the Church, received many, many - and extra special graces to get you into the Church. IOW, you are one who is extra, extra special to God.....for reasons only He knows. I believe this, always have and always will.
You take offense when sedes get slammed, well, I take offense when sedes intentionally, and not intentionally lie about reasons non-sedes are not sede, that we are heretics and the like - then completely ignore explanations and refutations as they just stay the course of their BS - this is what I am calling out as BS.
I've been in this my whole life and have remained as I am for many reasons, but I think mainly from seeing what happens to others who've changed - always ends up being for the worse. So when some dip pops in who has experienced a whole 5 or 10 years of this crisis and starts spouting BS against Catholic truths as a means to defend sedeism, I decided to start calling that what it is.
