Tradition In Action:  Description

Tradition in Action claims to be "committed to defend the perennial Magisterium of Holy Mother Church and Catholic traditions. TIA also works for a restoration of Christian civilization, adapted to contemporary historical circumstances."
.
However, TIA's members attempt to do this by ridiculing the Roman clergy, the Pope, and many prominent Catholic leaders and religious. Their manner of presenting pictures and commentary completely aside from any context is both a misrepresentation of facts and disgraceful to the Church and Her hierarchy. While ostensibly seeking to reinstate traditions in the Church, this site ridicules the living Tradition of the Church’s Magisterium and therefore, it cannot validly claim a right to defense of Holy Mother Church. We recommend avoiding it altogether. - Link

And to think I would link to stories and photos on that website.  Uber-trads can be as dangerous as the ultra-liberals, and both undermine the Magisterium.

Blog Wars

Guys like this stuff.
.
I know I do, it's like playing war or cowboys and Indians when I was little.  After I grew up I never got into talk radio or TV pundits.  I don't know why.  But I do come across a good fight every so often online - nothing like what goes on here on my blog however.  In fact, I just got another cancellation email because of all the negativity in my com box.  I only have like three or four commenters anyway - so my controversies are pretty tame.  I digress - but before I get back on topic, this is what my friend wrote:

to be honest, i've not spent a lot of time reading blogs the past few days.  i admit that i'm feeling worn out by a lot of the negativity on blogs, and there's been an exceptional amount of that on yours in the combox.  attacks & diatribes.  very little charity.  and self-righteousness dressed up as admonishing fellow brothers & sisters in Christ for their benefit.  dressing down people.  it's destroying my peace, so i'm taking some time away from the computer for a while - at least the blogs.  - Former Follower

What goes on here is nothing.  My blog really is namby-pamby-land.  Yet sensitive souls are offended.  If I try to tone things down, feelings get hurt.  If I let things go, feelings get hurt again.  Alas - one can't please every one.
.
Moving on.

So a couple of my favorite bloggers - namely Mark Shea, and the guys at Vox Nova are engaged in a small war - Thomas Peters is involved as well, but I rarely read him anymore - too politically ambitious for my taste, if you know what I mean.  But I like Mark Shea a lot - I never could understand why some of my blogger friends don't.  Likewise I really like the guys from Vox Nova.  Go figure.
.
Anyway - if you like fights, Mark Shea just posted a run-down on what is going on.  The feud kind of, sort of reminds me of what went down at The Cafeteria is Closed before that blog died.  Gerald's ship blew up real good.  (Oh dear - was that uncharitable?)
