With Francis grinding the gears of traditionalist Catholics lately by chastising them for replacing faith with ideology (as he sees it) and his dancing with the concept of what to do with homosexual "civil unions," we explore exactly how traditional such Catholics truly are.

Pope Francis calls them "Reactionary," I call them super double extra radicals! Do they believe in their church or not? Do they believe their own councils and decrees and dogmas? I don't think they should (but I left years ago) especially when it comes to Scripture and the finished work of Christ.

I've discovered quoting codified Catholic doctrine and reminding them of their Sacred Tradition and infallible rules of succession turns these conservative Catholics into revolutionary, Council-rejecting heretics. It's quite a sight to behold. But that's what a religion built on men will do. It will eventually implode upon itself.
