scipio stated in another thread, "But I don't buy any of the cultural baggage that most trads hoist onto themselves in an effort to become more trad...which hoisting is funny....because of the paradox it creates...it actually makes them less trad often times...if they take it too far....such as women dressing almost like mohams....positively indecent and immodest...and completely uncatholic."
Please define in precise terms this alleged "cultural baggage" that literally, even magically, makes one less of a Catholic, e.g. cite specific examples and how it is relegated to relativistic notions of "culture" not touching upon morality; and please explain how precisely relativistic cultural phenomena can make one less catholic, since by definition the alleged problem is one of a relative cultural nature. In other words, how can purely accidental, non-essential cultural habits be at once non-essential or relative and yet make one less Catholic? Any thing or idea that makes one less Catholic is a thing or idea that touches upon the essence of the faith, religion and morality.
And also please explain how it is that while you are busy criticizing your neighbors and their motives while they are trying in good faith to be obedient to the will of God, as indicated by the Church and Her Saints, even if I granted that it was erroneously expressed in the concrete, in good faith no less, does not reflect a grave defect in your own intellect and heart?
Do you not find it ironic that in the final analysis, that you are making your own cultural preferences and assumptions out to be a quasi-dogmatic requirement for all Catholics? But first, maybe you should be so kind as to define your terms and their concrete application before when investigate this irony.
