Actually, I think some definitions are in order. Are we speaking of Pius X traditionalists or conservative Catholics who consider themselves traditionalists because they seek out Latin Masses whether Indult Tridentine or Novus Ordo? My understanding from one who has worked with Ferrara on several articles is that he is of the later group. I am amazed that anyone associated with Catholic Family News would be selling "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," but I have never been to one of their conferences, or met Ferrara. I also find it troubling that anyone calling themselves Catholic would sell this book but then I'm troubled by Nancy Pelosi and those who like to hide the Tabernacle around the corner, down the hall and next to the bathroom.
Sounds like a lot of broad brush painting is going on.
Exactly! HUUUUUGE amounts on all sides. Much ink could be spared if people just took it easy and *listened* to what the other person was saying rather than a) jumping to conclusions and b) focusing on being "right" all the time. It really makes me nuts.
Basically the way I use "traditionalist" is....which Mass would you rather go to on a weekly basis...the 62 Missal or the 69 Missal. How other people use it I dunno.
