Or perhaps a “goof-ball” traditionalist would be more appropriate, and less biting. Any Cornell aristocrat who takes that quote as appropriate should feel rather uneasy if they also don’t live up to the *equally-binding* pre-1850 mentality that boys likewise must work with their hands to be “educated.”

As an aside, wasn’t a “Williamson” relative married recently (per a recent post on this blog?)…hehe.

You are such a meathead.

Josephus,

I was simply wondering if you had started going to an SSPX chapel every Sunday. Having gone to St Athanasius in Vienna, VA in my youth in the early 80’s (Fr Ringrose fame - unfortunately I was not confirmed by Archbishop Lefebvre — my sister was), I know the vibes at an SSPX parish (or an independent parish) can be quite different.

You don’t “join” the SSPX just because you may go to an SSPX chapel for mass anymore than I become a liberal Jesuit when I attend mass at the only Catholic Church in Ankara, which happens to be run by Jesuits.

Foolish Neo-Catholic.

For Fr. Onoda - I hope - there’ll be no ecumenism of return. ;)
