Trying to pass-off the current regime as "orthodox" must be a frustrating affair - I'm glad I abandoned the effort some time ago. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"
Dear AAABest,
I think it unfair that you should question sinkspur's Orders unless you know some genuine reason to do so. He was probably ordained in the old Rite and so you should have more confidence in his than in mine!
Obviously you should feel free to call him out if he starts blathering nonsense, but unless you have good grounds to query someone's bona fides, then you should assume that they are in good faith and standing.
I also disagree with much of what he says, but that in no way impacts on his being a deacon.
I know you are a good-hearted and faithful Catholic (one of the best), but please, for the sake of charity, let that one rest.
God bless you.
Augustine.
Here you are, in the middle of the problem again.
I rarely see you discuss anything anymore, besides yourself and how much you despise tradtion and the forum.
This is a conservative forum, sorry if most here reject your liberal ideas regarding a 1,500 year old institution.
"Trying to pass-off the current regime as "orthodox" must be a frustrating affair - I'm glad I abandoned the effort some time ago."
"orthdox"? I would never accuse said bishop of being such a thing!
That was directed more at the forum - I'm pretty sure you've got a realistic opinion of His Excellency.
