Last time I checked, the Pope didn't appoint you his axe man on who can and who cannot make requests of him.

"Requests"? How about demands! Because if those "requests" are not met, we all know that this will not be accepted graciously, don't we?

Here's the bottom line. If you and your buddies wish to criticise the Pope, I for one, will defend him. If you take it upon yourself to trash his work and ministry, there will be incoming.

In exactly the same way you leap to defend excommunicated nobodies like Bob Williamson and Barney Fellay, I'll defend the Holy Father.

You can make "requests" and everyone else can shut the hell up? I don't think so.

I know nothing of the sort and if I were you I would not presume to judge the intentions of the two authors of this letter.

I also find it interesting that although there is nothing in this letter in regard to SSPX, or Bishops Fellay and Williamson, people including yourself cannot help themselves but to bring to bring it up. I once stated that instead of trying to answer traditional Catholic arguments, concilliar Catholics just try to shut down the discussion by making sweeping accusations against traditional Catholics and inciting flame wars, a statement to which you vehemently disagreed. If this is not true, why don't you post any specific objections you have to what is said in this letter instead of bringing up the SSPX, which is not the subject and which will surely incite anger amongst the readers and end any fruitful discussion.
