Another quote from Pablo I heard first-hand (sent to me via e-mail):
"I will teach my children to beware of Trads first, and the devil second."
Once again, the hatred dripping from Pablo is almost palpable. And not just any hatred, but hatred towards who? The most devoted followers of Christ.
We're talking about Traditional Catholics!
Probably because years ago, a group of them conspired against him, made up some phony accusations and had him arrested.
The judge summarily dismissed it and called it the total B.S. that it was.
I don't believe, with Pablo, that Trads are so rotten that they get together and conspire against innocent Catholics just because they're so wicked.
THAT is ridiculous.
Now I do believe that individual Trads have serious issues -- psychological, personality, spiritual, and some of them are even "rotten" to use a common, earthy, imprecise term.
But I don't believe that groups get together in a conspiracy to slander something good, just for the sake of good old Satan. That is precisely what the SSPX used to say about the Resistance, remember!
When you're talking a GROUP getting together, starting something and drawing in a few others, etc. you'd have to either have some truth to go on, or you'd need someone as good at manipulating crowds as Adolf Hitler. Most Trads wouldn't qualify for that position.
