Also, in practice it means a tiny group of often hostile bow-tie wearing men and their hijab-wearing women...

I find the above statement quite offensive and false.

Frankly, I'm surprised and disappointed to hear it coming from you.

Look up "hijab" befoe you attack your fellow Catholics.

Name-calling, of any sort and in either direction, is not helpful. "Hijab-wearing" is not helpful. "Neo-Catholic" is not helpful. "Raddie Traddie" is not helpful.

There are people in positions of great power who are undermining the Church from within. That is a fact. There are Catholics who recognize that and oppose them, some who do not yet recognize that but who might join the opposition if educated, and there are people who clearly play for the other team.

The Remnant (I don't even like the name; there's a cult group near where I live that has the same name; the name is a sign of incredible arrogance IMO) has engaged in name-calling and other juvenile behavior for years. It's counterproductive, divisive, and plays right into the devil's hands.

No, I’ve been to too many “traditionalist” churches where the most important thing is that the women wear a veil or a headscarf, and ladies in the narthex will hustle forward with some rag for a woman to drape over her head if she comes in without one.

And the men seem to spend most of their time writing blogs and being marginally employed (because of course they’re anti-capitalist distributionists) while the women are out there dealing with the six or seven children. Not a good image, but way too common.

And there shouldn’t be such a thing as a “traditionalist” anyway. We’re all Catholics and we’ve got to get back to thinking of ourselves that way. Right now, this bizarre cult of the small, select group is simply giving the field to Bergoglio and his completely non-Catholic followers.

I am also disappointed by some of livius’ comments (and let’s not leave out campion’s applause)
