A nice column

by someone whose writing I like:

Those Angry Traditionalists

I found this link on a website that linked to it as an example of an article that 'attacks' traditionalists. I think that displays the problem he addresses. A criticism of their behaviour is an attack while their criticism of anything at all is 'pointing out truth'. For the majority of Catholics, the reality is that the Novus Ordo is the usual form of the Mass and this is confirmed by the Catholic Church, and criticising those who love God and experience life through that isn't exactly what most people would call loving Christian behaviour. I've always liked Mark Shea. I like him more, now. I'm sorry that they won't like him...
