Laramie, I see you've taken some advice from one of the modernists, Terry Carroll...
I agree with this. Stay far, far away from Terry Carroll and his ilk.
I've had a few cordial lengthy e-mail exchanges with him. He has not offended me personally. However, what he has done to CMTV, and the way he has directed that organization to be an arrogant blowhard against the Society, putting out hit piece after hit piece--and never a full explanatory docuмentary that COMPLETELY discusses where they stand--just reeks of insincerity and nasty, uncharitable thoughtlessness.
As I said tonight, the shell games of CMTV, liberal clergy, and Pope Francis' latest trick with the absolutions demonstrates to me that they are dishonest adverseries to the SSPX...who has been nothing but completely open and technical with everyone about who they are, what they believe, where they stand, and how they are legal, legitimate, and necessary.
The Mass said by the Society is just as illicit as the Mass said by Novus Ordo diocesan priests. I am not in doubt that the Society's Mass is "irregular." But I also AFFIRMATIVELY BELIEVE that the Novus Ordo Mass is even
MORE irregular, if not worse. And if I can therefore take my family to one of those dull, lackluster, unenthusiastic presentations of our Lord, then I can sure as heck take me and mine to a reverent Mass where the people actually care about it.
