Nor is it necessary that you should. Thank you for your moment of clemency. I think what I have written, being extraneous to the topic, and clearly presented is its own position on its own merit, else there is no basis for the existence of the United States of America, and that would be an absurdity.

Re: Yet Another Western Rite Argument
This kind of stream of consciousness NC-modernist thought keeps on being offered here. 1). The Western Rites do not emerge out of the Tradition. 2). They have to essentially be refounded and restored to be reintroduced into Orthodoxy as a liturgical innovation. 3). The Eastern Rite is the living Tra...

Re: Yet Another Western Rite Argument
Since I did not refer to him in a disrespectful way, I don't think I need to apologize to him. But I will for the sake of comity. What I do find objectionable is that you engage me in a personal attack without merit. This discussion was about neither of our persons, but about the Western Rite and th...
