Thank you Gray. They know that it is not I who attack first. Honesty is not what they practice. Evidently, the ends justify any means necessary to convert everyone to SVism.

I defend my right to not be a sedevacantist, which is offensive to some here. I've said many times that I don't have a problem with anyone holding the sedevacantist position, but when they try to force it on others, I see that as a problem.

You are correct to say that we should stop all this fighting. But when one side believes it has to force its views on everyone else, that's a problem. Not all sedevacantists do this of course.

Aren’t you?

Gray, it seems like you came onto this forum with finger pointed and an ax to grind. On one hand you say you are sad and sensitive to the strife in the trad community, yet after reading your posts over the past week they seem to have a rather bossy and aggressive tone. Am I understanding this wrong?

Several good men have offered you an explanation about the strife and what it will take to fix it, which is a good pope. The fact is, the disagreements and infighting is sadly a part of the cross we must bare. You don’t seem to want to accept this answer. Your tears and mourning are only meritorious as far as your resignation and trust in God’s care for you and others goes.  Maybe I have/am overstepping my bounds but I think you have let this topic overcome you. It is not in your control and the more you strive to make it so the more miserable you will become. I think you have internalized this too much. I know you are melancholic. I think melancholic need to be extra careful about this.

Do I get frustrated at the bickering and mud slinging that goes on from time to time here? Yes. But we are all called to look at our own interior actions and disposition. I’m not sure yours is any healthier than those who you accuse of being rash and unkind.

Please, I mean this in the best way possible. I’m not trying to attack you. Just stating my observations. God bless you!

It has been pointed out several times by long term members who see the signs that this person is a troll. (I think only you and SeanJohnson have said that.  Who were the others?  She needs to be banned for the good of the forum because she has ill will towards the members and hasn't posted a single useful thing. (I do not have ill will toward anyone)  It's clear that she isn't a traditional Catholic in the manner she claims. (How is this clear?) She hasn't made a single reference to her supposed 5 children...does she have any? (Yes 5 boys, (7, 11, 13, 16, 18) and I have referenced the one who is trying to find a Seminary) She doesn't post in the Women's forum on the feminine topics of homemaking, child rearing, cooking, etc. (These things don't interest me much and I have no girls to teach.) She hates her husband and all men in general, especially the clergy. (I don't hate anyone.  I just think men keep passing the buck and no one is calling them out on it)  She worships the witchcraft practicing feminist Taylor Swift (That is silly, I just don't like people making serious accusations without proof and media isn't good proof because it is good at manipulating people to feel certain things) and believes all marriage problems are caused by men not listening to womens "feelings". (It takes two to break up a marriage) Anyone who calls out her hypocrisy is immediately attacked as a "hater" and lacking "humility". (A lot of people do lack humility, people infer why I made a post, usually the post is to get a conversation started, to get a feel for the room per se.  Many times people think that i am looking for personal answers for myself.  I am not.  I have just seen too many bad things happen to good Catholic families) Common marxist accusations.

Someone claims to know her in real life.  And what of it?  Who is that individual?  Many of us have been here for a decade or more and don't know either of you.  I have blocked them so I don't have to be bothered with their feminist claptrap.  (I do apologize for making you so mad.  I tried sending you some private apology messages.)

We should all be wary of new members who carpet bomb the threads with non-Catholic ideas and sow seeds of chaos and discontent.  I wonder if FBI infiltraitors are on the forum.  We know they are grooming the SSPX chapels in Virginia.

Having said that, this is the last I will say on this subject. I invite you to the women’s sub forum to talk about child rearing, recipes, homemaking, gardening and all of the stuff that is within our realm. It is a great place to visit and find encouragement!

Thank you Gray. They know that it is not I who attack first.
