The Blind Hatred of AngelQueen’s Moderator

    Dear TIA,

    I occasionally follow what's being discussed on an Internet public forum called Angelqueen - supposedly a traditionalist website that promotes SSPX. I thought you would be interested in reading the hatred brewing against you because of your works, especially your recent articles against the Motu Proprio and the 1962 Missal.

    It is well-known that the moderator of that forum is John Grasmeier, who signs Servitium. He is the one who wrote in that forum the following [two texts].

    Keep up the good work.

        In Jesus and Mary,

        G.J.

Dragged into the Street and Beaten

    Putting aside the various arguments over which missal is best, TIA and other separatists groups (Daily Catholic, Novus Ordo Watch, Traditio) can never accept that anything good is happening in Holy Mother Church without them.

    Now the latest tact is to cast doubt on the very missal of what's being used for the TLM [Traditional Latin Mass], by every priest of the SSPX and all other traditional groups.

    Has anyone ever heard any of these "tools" happy about any positive development in Holy Mother Church? According to them, can or does anyone from the Holy Father on down ever do anything good, commendable or edifying? Do they ever spread anything besides delusional paranoia, scorn, ridicule or doubt?

    In my opinion these free-thinking enlightened webmasters should be dragged out into the street and beaten.

    Their Faith Is Not Mine


    I don't think anyone opposes reasoned, linear discussion on the merits, or lack thereof, of the various missals. It's discussed here often. For what it's worth, I personally happen to believe that the '62 [Missal] actually is lacking in some aspects.

    What I'm truly sick and tired of (to the point of being literally PHYSICALLY sick and tired) are these joyless, hopeless, cynical, paranoid cranks of little faith.

    The MP [Motu Proprio] is a "Trojan Horse." The Missal the SSPX and all the Church uses is "corrupt." Sister Lucy was kidnapped and replaced with a double, and according to some, so was Paul VI. Etc., etc, etc., blah blah blah.

    With them, there's always a time to rant, but never a time to rejoice. Always a condemnation, but never a kind word for Peter. Always a time to despair, but never a reason for hope. We can always throw stones and mope, but never can we rejoice in this incredible, beautiful faith of ours.

    Although we have many problems in the Church, we will restore her, despite these insufferabe, dead-weight, do-nothings.

    I'm sick of listening to them and I'm tired of reading their dreck. Their Catholicism is not my Catholicism. Their faith is not mine. What does this relentless cynicism contribute to anything? Do they believe that continuously articulating morbidity is some type of Catholic virtue or talent?

    Although I truly hate the world, I love this life that God gave me and all of the blessings He granted along with it. Although the MP is imperfect, it's an incredible gift for traditionalists and an answer to millions upon millions of prayers.

    Although Benedict steps in it often, he's a goodly pope, with a big Catholic heart, a good head on his shoulders and not a single drop of malice in his entire body. Although the '62 [Missal] certainly can be properly digested and looked at, it is certainly NOT "corrupt."

         (John Grasmeier)







It seems to me that John Grasmeier may have just had enough with the new
guy, and had to bow out because Pope Francis is simply indefensible.  

Although ... steps in it often, he's [1] a goodly pope, with [2] a big Catholic
heart, [3] a good head on his shoulders and [4]not a single drop of malice in his
entire body.

All I have to say is,  "Hey, Johnny,* ONE OUT OF FOUR AIN'T BAD!"

Why not cut him some slack?  You know, like the slack you cut for B16?
