"Shut up"? Not at all! I'm the biggest fool of them all.

These thoughts you hve trouble me most of the time too, and it is good to talk about them.

The internet is very difficult, in some ways, to convey messages properly.

Traditionalists as a group look like a bunch of whining grandmothers most of the time. It is a scandal, an embarrassment, and a major reason we don't have more converts from new-calendarism.

What do you think should be the approach so that the proper message could be conveyed without sounding judgemental? Perhaps you think there should not even be an approach, something I've often thought.

I think OOD said everything I was trying to say in my last post, only better. I started writing mine before he finishes it, so I apologize about my seeming repeating.

Elsewhere someone wrote that the Church is a hospital of souls. He went on to say that you want to find the best doctor, which is your spiritual Father. We are all just patients, sharing what little we know with one another in the course of (hopefully) friendly conversation.

I cry that I've caused discord with this article I'd thought would be uplifting for us all I don't see why it did the opposite :cry:

I like what little I have read so far, for whatever that is worth.
