“You Are Not Wanted”

The above phrase is how traditionalist American Catholics are addressing non-traditionalist Catholics these days. In their hatred for the different other, a hatred that knows no bounds for those who do not think like them, these Catholics fail to realize that in rejecting their brethren with the above words, they are rejecting Christ Himself whom they so claim to love. Tertullian said that you would know Christians by their love for one another. The 21st century corollary to that is you will know traditionalist American Catholics by their hatred because it is the only thing that seems to reside in their hypocritical and prideful hearts. They have forgotten Christ’s words: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of Heaven.”
