Jeff has a good discussion of “angry Traddism” — the kind of relentless carping that that some refer to as “Lidless Eye” traddism — over at El Camino Real:
I think that in many cases traditionalists are their own worst enemy. There are, indeed, some kooky traditionalists who think it is their duty to correct everyone they meet in matters of religion….
One of my favorite quotes is from TSO, in the comments box:
Anger has its place, of course. It’s more the relish with which it is wielded that grates. One gets the sense that some (not just Trads) exult over their fallen victims like linebackers over a sacked, bleeding quarterback. As Bishop Sheen said, “win an argument, lose a soul”.
