He gives the impression that he is representing a group, not just himself. And goodness knows I've been at parishes which were more than a little infected by congregationalism.<br /><br />For the sake of the incoming priest I sincerely hope this is ONE person, and the rest are saints.Mat.

The people I know at Perth Amboy are wonderful.<br />It is really unfair to impugn a whole parish based on a kooky letter from one guy.<br />Michael Decerbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03776598414948015386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73042886598650075.post-80839154890601779902013-08-28T22:25:17.496-05:002013-08-28T22:25:17.496-05:00I am sure I hardly need point out to a Traditional...I am sure I hardly need point out to a Traditionalist Catholic, given the madness that has swept the Latin Church, that what church one attends does not make one a member in good standing. Heresy is heresy. Happily in the Orthodox Church these sorts of misguided knaves are not all that common, though of course there have always been exceptions. <br /><br />By the way, I like your profile. I am a collateral descendant on my father's side of the principal aide de camp to HM James VII/II at the Battle of the Boyne and come from a family that drank deeply from the bitter well of Jacobite legitimism. Even so I have come to accept, with deep regret, that after three centuries, it's a done deal. The Hanoverian's (Saxe-Coburg Gotha) now hold the throne without real contest.<br /><br />May France and Russia soon recover from their madness.
