Good. They speak very well for themselves, as any Catholic should be able to tell.
And yet it somehow got past you?
Should you read my post, it might seem evident to you that I know of the site, have been to it, and have read enough of it to comment. Then again, perhaps it is easier to just click the reply button and type whatever comes to mind.
Why the anger and sarcasm? I’ve been respectful though I don’t hold your opinion on this issue. Do you treat everyone who disagrees with you with this type of immaturity? Would your behavior be representative of all cafeteria-Catholics?
Have you even read it? The work is satire, designed to expose modernist heresies.
I agree its satire. Most of the essays have the same sarcasm and abhorrence toward the authority of V2 as the “dictionary” does. I suppose the “Catholic” that created the website felt that the best way to lash out was to do so with sarcasm and satire. When you read them, your left feeling that the author actually believes that he knows better than the Church. It’s rather laughable really.
Would you like me to break this down for you, or do you see the satire? The “dictionary” is a mockery of the errors of dissent, not a statement of dissent in itself. Comprendes?
Actually, the “dictionary” is filled with sarcastic remarks about the New Mass, current Church terminology, and the post-Conciliar Church. The overall effect is one of encouraging Catholics to disregard the authority of the Church on these issues. Agnosco?
Oh, how clever. I note that you have seen fit to break out your AIM lingo and duck analogies. So very funny, yet ultimately not persuasive. Show me one error you find on the site - and this time actually read the articles. And try not to be so sophisticated next time… lolz u mite mak evry1 luk bad roflol XDXD
Am I speaking to a child? Try for a moment to be intelligent rather than combative, you may find that goes a long way toward fooling your readers into believing you have more than a single brain cell bouncing around between your ears. Do they not practice charity in the anti-Vatican II camps these days?
Still I will humor you least you feel I am ducking your challenge to provide examples:
fisheaters.com/TLMintroduction.html
TLM Introduction states:
"In this section, I focus solely on the traditional Latin Mass based on the Missal of 1962 which is used by most traditional priests (including the F.S.S.P. and the S.S.P.X.). After much study, I’ve come to the conclusion that, validity issues aside, the “Novus Ordo Mass” is tragically flawed, something my instincts and “common sense” have told me since I was a child. The very name of this Mass – “Novus Ordo,” i.e., “New Order” – should make anyone with a true Catholic nature cringe, and its effects are so incredibly sad it almost hurts to think about it. It has turned out to be a “New Mass” for a “New Religion” – and that religion is “not Catholic enough.”

The Church as Battered Bride states:
“We must stop supporting the that which reeks of “the spirit of Vatican II,” i.e., modernism – the heterodox seminaries, the “Novus Ordo masses,” . . . We must support the true Catholic Faith – the Faith of the Fathers – with its traditional Latin Mass, traditional Sacraments, and traditional teaching.”
There are MANY more examples however, as you said, you have been there. Therefore you already know this and don’t need me to continue providing you with these examples.
- Read the dictionary of dissent and actually try to understand it
I did and I do. It’s a sarcastic attack on the NO Mass, Catholic terminology and the post-Conciliar Church. It’s not standup. The setting isn’t a comedy club. What don’t you get?
- Catholics are allowed to dislike a particular usage of the Rite, and favor another. Do you understand this? It doesn’t make them “cafeteria-style”.
I don’t have a problem with your personal likes or dislikes. I do however, have a problem with a website that claims to be Catholic and then goes about using sarcasm and belittling remarks and opinions to teardown the 21st Ecumenical Council of the same Catholic Church it claims to be obedient to. God bless.
PS - I almost forgot… LOL - Sorry, I had to get another of those AIM lingos in.
And now you’re going to act all indignant? In the future, don’t talk down and use sarcasm toward your fellow posters. Of course that was probably your plan the whole time… throw out insulting language and then when your opposition throws something back, call foul and walk away playing the victim without having to support your argument with intelligent debate. Nice. You run a long now.
