It's really too bad they conned you.

Nobody's "conned" me. Unlike yourself, I was trying to give an objective picture.

You're obviously pretty young and not qualified to.

LOL. I'm 47 years old, spent several years in a couple of Traditional seminaries, completed my Ph.D. coursework (though not the thesis) in Patristic Greek and Latin. Fail.

You, like many of your generation, greedily took their bait.

They are inundated with heresy

Could you post just a few examples, out of this figurative inundation?

Surely, it will be a easy task.

Schism.

They excommunicate anyone they disagree with.

This I agree with. Perhaps not full schism but theirs is certainly a schismatic attitude because they have a strong tendency to denounce people as non-Catholic and outside the Church based on their own reasoning.

I have not detected any "heresy" ... even if some of their opinions are strongly held.

I just wanted to say that I am grateful for the Dimond Brothers because they introduced me to traditional Catholicism. It was reading their website that started me on my road to conversion.

In a similar vein, many Traditional Catholics owe some gratitude to the bits of goodness and truth found in many other imperfect, sometimes very dangerous places:

* the Indult
* conservative Novus Ordo priests and groups
* etc.

But when we were in those places, we were supposed to keep moving along, until we arrived at the FULL truth.

Unfortunately, some people never (or extremely slowly, so it seems like they're not moving) escape those places which indeed contain some goodness/truth. The equivalent of living off garbage found in the dumpster.

You can't tell a man living off garbage to stop eating garbage and DIE, especially after you've done all you can to point out the better food to him.
(the poor man just doesn't get it for some reason.)

If their truths are truths, then they belong to everyone and can be found elsewhere. They do not corner that market and there is no need for most of us to expose ourselves to their errors.

True, this is common sense. Unfortunately is there even one single group active today one could swear it does not hold/promote one single error?

In fact, how could you even be sure you're not, at this very moment?
