I wouldn't doubt for a second that you know Samuel better than I. I took back a couple things I said.

If Samuel has a family, he sure never talks about them -- or even mentions them. Which boggles my mind, because "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." I'm not saying he should post all kinds of sensitive or private info out on the Internet. But why not mention, from time to time, that you HAVE a wife or HAVE a family?

But regardless, he doesn't have much use for those who blaze their own trails in the Trad wilderness and don't follow him. And based on his post today, he doesn't have much sympathy for those who can't afford to implement his own particular brand or flavor of "Catholic Action". Apparently my Chant CD/Catholic book apostolate, my Traditional Catholic forum, and my local Resistance group/chapel aren't enough "Catholic Action" for him. And did I mention I'm a married man with a large family -- not exactly a single guy with tons of resources or time on my hands. So if Samuel doesn't like it, then I guess I'm just not meant to please Samuel. Too bad for him. I'm glad I only have to please God to get into heaven!

I'm glad you can get along with him; he seems to be a very serious Catholic and has a lot of Catholic thought. Part of me is sad that we can't get along. We apparently just rub each other the wrong way. That's how it is sometimes with two "alpha" males, or two cholerics. It's like having 2 roosters in the same flock -- they don't get along. I wish we could get along though.

But right now, his main friend (on the Internet at least) is Sean Johnson, the dogmatic sedeplenist, who recently came on CathInfo trying to stir up trouble for me (i.e., start an ιnѕυrrєcтισn of some kind -- fortunately he failed miserably) on a day when I was away from my computer super-busy with household duties (which I told him about in a phone call).

I'd like to be friends with both of them, but apparently it's not meant to be. They want to do this "dogmatic sedeplenist" thing, and they both blame me for allowing anyone to the right of that position on CathInfo. Well, I have to go with my conscience. I don't even personally believe as Sean Johnson does! How could I expect the population of CathInfo to hold his position? I most certainly have my doubts about the Pope. Just like Archbishop Lefebvre did. I'm staying with the R&R position because it's the prudent, safe position to be. There are still no practical benefits to adopting sedevacantism, so why "go there"? But that doesn't mean I'm going to be dogmatic about the status of Pope Francis, one way or the other!
