Given the continuing auto-destruction of the institutional Church, how do you manage to avoid constant anger and bitterness? Or are you failing to avoid them?

You get used to it and then you become hard and cold, like a soldier with the thousand-yard stare.  I'm joking -- I think.

My anger, when I was more angry, was directed at Jєωs, mainly.  

Two other sources of anger were / are America and the SSPX.
Strangely, I have never become really angry at the Vatican II church.  It's almost like they are too far gone.  To be angry with someone, you have to have the goal of correcting them, of changing their minds, but those in Vatican II are like aliens to me, lots of them.  

Anger was a self-righteous attempt to show love, in my case.  I pretended I wanted to change people for the better, what I really wanted was to feed on my vainglory and rage and stand out.  

So having experienced these severe anger problems in my life, in an almost Anti-Christ-like way where I would basically scream at people like a complete maniac, I think I have some insight into how to overcome anger.  And the way to do it is to love God.  The servant is not better than the Master.  If Christ Himself never went into wild rages, we shouldn't either.  If He was smacked and forgave the man smacking Him, we should too.  

Oh, and don't just forgive the man smacking YOU, by the way, but forgive the man smacking the Church!  Don't say "I'm not defending myself, I'm defending the Church," as an excuse to feed on anger, as I did for a while.  Anger is addictive, it feels good, it makes you feel powerful.

It is one thing to know this intellectually, that we must suffer and carry the Cross and not expect fair treatment for ourselves or even for the truth itself in our lifetimes, perhaps, that our reward is in the next life.  But it is another to actually internalize these things, to know them with the heart.  

For that, you just have to pray for it, and then you will get it.  If you think you have an anger problem, don't come on here and complain about it, that is just wallowing and pride, like saying "Look at how honest I am about my sins and failings!"  Pray to have it removed and it will be.

I just prayed to Our Lady for you, that you may not lead yourself in fear and trembling,

Actually, soldat, fear and trembling is a good thing in this case... You know this passage of Philippians?

"Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but much more now in my absence,) with fear and trembling work out your salvation."

The acerbity and fury of which you speak I have known too well, and I have noticed how these sometimes degenerate into a sort of evil sorrow that stifles and renders one vulnerable to the attacks of the devil, the flesh and the world.

Soldat fem de Dieu has mentioned the most important answer to your question.

Of course, together with prayer, the acquisition and cultivation of the moral virtues (especially that of temperance, patience, etc.) should never be neglected, as these are necessary in order to attain to an interior life that will enable the soul to shift focus from self to God alone, through Mary Most Holy. If you persevere in the practice of interior and exterior mortification [not spectacular things, but small things like not eating toffee on some occasions, or declining to visit a coffee shoppe when really desired, or not giving in to curiosity regarding unnecessary, though harmless, things, &c.), you will find yourself more enabled to cooperate with grace and thus resist and control movements of passion, such as anger.

At the practical level, I suggest you take up a good and useful hobby, like gardening, or painting, or photography, or calligraphy, or bookbinding, or marksmanship, or algebra, or learning another language [Latin!] &c. Things like this would provide a healthy distraction from ecclesiastical crises, and insure a good mental hygiene that will make you strong even before the most appalling of scandals.

Every time the blatantly heretical teachings came forth from the Conciliar church, every time we learned of a new cover up by Conciliar clergy, every time I experienced a new fad from the local priest (e.g., a puppet show at the altar or the priest wearing a Halloween mask throughout the service--yes, even during the consecration), I would become angry; sometimes to the point of shaking.

The day I finally realized that the Conciliar church is not the Catholic Church and that it is just one more Protestant denomination (albeit with many Catholic faithful trying to understand the crisis and continuing to try to live out their faith within their structures), the anger disappeared.  The anger was replaced, to be sure, with pity and sorrow, but I've not felt the anger since.  I can still be surprised and shocked at times, such as when Benedict used condom use by a male prostitute as a sign of moving towards God, but no longer the kind of anger you mention.

My anger, when I was more angry, was directed at Jєωs, mainly.

This explains a lot about Raoul!

It is typical sede-ism in that it seldom concerns itself with the crisis in the church and effecting a restoration preferring instead to turn its wrath towards convincing idiot SSPX'ers of the "truth" that there is no pope.

It's almost like they are too far gone.  To be angry with someone, you have to have the goal of correcting them, of changing their minds, but those in Vatican II are like aliens to me, lots of them.

 

You should actually understand them quite well as you share their erroneous understanding in infalliblity.

This explains your "ignore" button meltdown based on a libelous pretext. It all makes sense now.

Or if this fails, just place fingers in ears, ignore opposing arguments I can't refute and personally excommunicate the messenger.

What Church? You don't even believe the true Church exists. (smatterings of sedes does not equal the Church).
