To: Bud McDuell
Dear Bud McDuell,

Well, this is progress. At least you are now again admitting that you were confirming the comparison the two, rather than merely confirming the truth that a black Mass can be valid.

As Catholicguy pointed out, the way in which the comparison was made reasonably can be seen as an equivalence. In fact, it is the clearest, best, most reasonable conclusion from what was said. Can you answer this question?

"What would be your reaction to this statement; 'Ultima and Bud oppose the normative mass just as Hitler opposed the normative mass when he was alive.'"

That is the form of the comparison that ultima made between the Mass of Pope Paul VI and a black Mass. And the comparison which you affirmed.

If you can't deal with what you actually SAID as opposed possibly to that which you might have wished to say, hey, that's not my problem.

As I said, in charity, perhaps you didn't realize how your words, and ultima's words, came across. If you wish to retract it, I'd accept that.

"By the way, I assisted at a Novus Ordo Mass on the feast of the Assumptiuon a couple of weeks ago."

Good for you! Keep it up!

"If I equated that Mass to a Black Mass - I wouldn't have gone near that Church."

Hmmm... I have allowed for the possibility that you didn't realize what you were saying. I've suggested that you retract what you said, because perhaps you didn't mean it the way it all came out.

Anyway, this horse has been thoroughly beaten. Have a nice day.

By the way, where's ultima? I thought you two worked the same shift.

;-)
