One of my favorite authors, the great Catholic, Flannery O'Connor, explains, in "Mystery and Manners" that she wrote as she did because..(pharaphrasing) "to the hard of hearing you yell and for the hard of sight you paint with big bold letters."

I think those in the schism are blind. Humor, outrageousnes, hyperbole, outlandishness etc are tools meant to pry the scales from their eyes.

I thoroughly enjoy BE's rhetoric as a Catholic Militant. He is a Christian man in the best sense of the word. He fights with the tools His Lord and Saviour Blessed him with. He is intelligent, witty, extremely well-educated, deeply and widely read, masculine, bold, outrageous funny and everything I would want in a neighbor.

He fights like a true Catholic Traditionalist.

Even after reading this you may be disgusted. C'est la Vie. My skin is thicker than Hilary's arse.

For my part, I think fighting over the Faith almost as much a masculine treasure and pleasure as rooting for Lord Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders and listening to Jerry Lee Lewis and reading The Gospel of St. John
