Why should you feel frustrated? You and your cohorts are perfectly comfortable comparing the Mass I attend to a satanic ritual. If you're okay with that, then I'm sure your okay with the rest of the idiocy that you spew.

Am I frustrated with your behavior? No. It is evident that you have an agenda, and that is to draw souls away from the Catholic church. Therefore, I will not hesitate to point out the kind of individual you are to anyone who will listen, and I am confident that after following your tripe on a day to day basis that the lurkers can see you for what you are.

Not only are you distorting what I said, you are doing so deliberately. You know I have never compared the Novus Ordo to a Black Mass. I was making a point about validity. Even the Black Mass is valid. So is the Tridentine Mass. And so is the Novus Ordo. Validity therefore says nothing about whether a Mass is good or bad--that was my point. But you and your friends want to make traditionalists appear radical and extreme. Either that, or you are too dense to appreciate my point.

I have no agenda to draw people away from the Catholic Church, since I consider myself a practicing Catholic--so why would I do this? You begin and end all arguments by hurling the charge of schism. But it is not schismatic for Catholics to attend SSPX Masses and devotions. This has been settled definitively by Rome itself which not many years ago had overturned the Honolulu Bishop's excommunication of 6 Catholics who attended SSPX Masses after being warned to stay away. Bishop Ferraro like you assumed that it was schismatic to attend such Masses. But the letter from Cardinal Ratzinger's Office for the Doctrine of the Faith announced the excommunications were invalid since no acts of schism were committed by such attendance. You can't get any clearer than that. But if you and your friends on this site want to continue slandering other Catholics for attending the Mass of the Ages, be my guest.
