Been busy the past few days, hehe.<BR/><BR/>Matt, I completely agree with you that the traditionalism one is most likely to encounter across the net these days is a very different creature from the spontcaneous, organic tradition that we had before 'The Interruption'. However I suspect that this over reaction can be just as bad, if not worse, than the actions of the Council: this type of traditionalism is self-compartmentalizing, espousing a very 'you against us' mentality. It's this isolationist solution that troubles me most, because it goes against the very meaning of the word 'Catholic', which is, of course, universal.<BR/><BR/>Yes Andrew, that's the Colossus of Rhodes. I used to associate it with my enemies in first grades-- I would, of course, pretend to be Godzilla, and blow them to smithereens with my atomic... er, 'unfresh' breath. I think many people, regardless of creed or politics, have a tendency to act is if they were the sole, colossal possessor of the truth, hence the picture.<BR/><BR/>Rachel, I completely agree! The medieval Catholics had a very pervasive sense of humour, and this is something which I think many, many Catholics need to re-discover. I just find it a bit difficult to swallow that someone can laugh at the image of heretics roasting on an open fire while decrying the prayer of pots and pans as a satanic, demoniacal thing. (Even Solomon Kane had more humor, LOL).<BR/><BR/>Rita, I am humbled by your comment! Thank you so very much for reading my blog. I'll admit that I'm not exactly a paragon of virtue in real life, but God has been good to me, even when I haven't exactly been doing my best. And no, I've never received an award for this blog; believe me, I honestly wish I were too cool to post them (LOL!), but I have been known to lapse into occasional dorky-ness every now and then.Archistrategoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495771160792293715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28475889.post-84408595063312387692007-10-28T17:54:00.000+08:002007-10-28T17:54:00.000+08:00Tolle lege, indeed!

I have also been disturbed by the anti-modernism and the lack of humor on the part of many traditionalists (just take a look at the Angelqueen forums..). My fiance, my brother, and some friends of mine who are all traditionalists want to move away from this image. We need to learn to laugh at ourselves and be merry in a good way. After all, many of these traditionalists use the internet, drive cars, and avail themselves of modern conviences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28475889.post-26897124322804257932007-10-27T11:20:00.000+08:002007-10-27T11:20:00.000+08:00Colossus of Rhodes? =)Colossus of Rhodes? =)Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356738924839809045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28475889.post-10822063452406973552007-10-26T01:37:00.000+08:002007-10-26T01:37:00.000+08:00Let me first say that I've been following your blo...Let me first say that I've been following your blog for awhile and find your posts by turns enlightening and entertaining. Keep up the good work!<BR/><BR/>I find the pervasive antimodernism of many traditionalists to be rather amusing, especially since the internet and other means of rapid media distribution serve as their chief forums. Were it not for cheap printing and the web, their influence would be severely limited, I suspect.Matt H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09651389116414165555noreply@blogger.com
