TIA has great catholic articles and the TFP does great catholic work (like organizing the 8,000+ rosary rallys). Writing them off because their founder was a nut is akin to condemning the sspx masses as heretical because +Fellay is a modernist-in-hiding (and he is). There’s no logic, just emotions. Cena has this false “all or nothing”, “black and white”, “either-or” mindset that is pervasive in the Trad world and which contributes to the lack of unity in our circles and also makes many hesitate to convert to traditionalism. Basically, she either can’t make ANY distinctions or she doesn’t want to. The amount of emotion and vitriol she regularly expresses shows it’s the latter. It’s sad but unsurprising. Many Trads act like her.
Since I have posted only statements by Bishops, former members and journalists, I look forward to your citation of the "black-and-white" thinking of which you accuse me.
Like others here, I was once taken in by the appearance of a traditional Catholic group.
It was only when I looked into the condemnations by Bishop Mayer, the Bishops of Brazil, civil authorities of several South American nations, former members of the cult, parents of former members of the cult, and journalists that I realized that the Plinio- worshiping groups are not Catholic.
This includes not only Tradition Family and Property (TFP) and Tradition in Action (TIA); but also America Needs Fatima and Heralds of the Gospel and many others.
The prayer of TFP and Atila (slave#11 to Plinio and founder of TIA)
"Let it no longer be I who live but rather Plinio in me who lives" is a blasphemy. Only a heretic "prays" like this.
That is a Catholic statement of fact. Does that sound like "black-and-white" thinking to you?
