My specific complaint related to this post is that they marginalize traditionalists, ignore the facts and circumstances of the present situation, and fill people's heads with things that will make it more difficult for a reconciliation to come about. I have other issues, too. They uncritically help the Trautman contingency of bishops promote all manner of things which have degraded the liturgy and the Church. Case in point was yesterday during a "game show" segment when one of their questions emphasized that the norm for Holy Communion in the US was standing. Now, to our sorrow that's true, but that's not the point--they're emphasizing it and promoting it for the bishops. In that manner they're fellow-travellers of the progressives. They discourage people who have legitimate complaints against clergy who are disregarding their rights from pursuing those rights. Mrs. Curmudgeon listened earlier this week to one of them tell a caller who was enduring a flagrant liturgical abuse to, basically, suck it up. They're smug. They have a prot-fundamentalist mode of presenting things. <BR/><BR/>Did I mention they're smug?Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958570482046462392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15621027.post-1149639763130183692006-06-06T19:22:00.000-05:002006-06-06T19:22:00.000-05:00Curmudgeon, just out of curiosity, what is your be...Curmudgeon, just out of curiosity, what is your beef with Catholic Answers?<BR/><BR/>Of note: Catholic Answers is based in Southern California, as is Paris Hilton.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15621027.post-1149624909154001262006-06-06T15:15:00.000-05:002006-06-06T15:15:00.000-05:00Every time I've seen that statement about Staples ...Every time I've seen that statement about Staples and Gibson arguing about whether the Chair of Peter is vacant, someone else asked to see a link or some other substantiation that the debate took place.

I guess I recognize Tim Staples' name, although I'm not inclined to take anything from Catholic Answers at face value. <BR/><BR/>It is my understanding that Gibson, unlike his father, had not made any comment regarding the legitimacy of the post-conciliar Popes (although I wouldn't be surprised if he said something about their imprudence or infidelity, which is a different matter). I knew there was a row over whether the Holy See would get an advance copy of the Passion, but attributed that to justifiable concern over the enemies of Christ within the curia.<BR/><BR/>But what does all this have to do with Paris Hilton?Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958570482046462392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15621027.post-1149566076520255502006-06-05T22:54:00.000-05:002006-06-05T22:54:00.000-05:00No, Tim Staples is, like Jimmy Akin, a regular tal...No, Tim Staples is, like Jimmy Akin, a regular talker on Catholic Answers Live, heard in KC on KEXS-1090-AM in evening drive time.
