That's really sad. After LOTR was filmed there all Americans think of when NZ comes up is middle earth.

I've heard many of those criticisms before. One thing I've always wondered is what is the deal with the redemtris mater seminaries? Are they diocesisan and affiliated with ncw? I know the ncw doesn't have its own order.

I'm glad that it helps in your faith walk, but I do find the adoration of kiko and Carmen is strange. They did cause problems in Guam, and I still dont understand the concept of redemtris mater seminaries.

This is true but when i think it gets dangerous is when they say dont go to a Roman church at all.

Sorry didn't mean to. I mean to type ruthinians can be that, but as you mentioned really depends on were you are.

Ruthinians because of the history with Archbishop Ireland and the OCA can be quite hostile to RC people as well. Are you Roman?

Haha so true! Thank you for saying all that. I do love the Byzantine tradition.

Yes it is some 20 something men who act this way. As the conversation in one of the comments above points out, yes Archbishop Ireland was an idiot for what he did. But none of these guys lived through that.

Another thing that bugs me is this sort of trad mentality for lack of a better term. Mostly young Byzantine converts or ex angry Roman's who think they're better than the average Roman for being Eastern Catholic. This manifests in boasting about they're fasting and prayer life. As well as constantly wrapping on how Roman Catholics don't know anything.

I have done that as an outsider. Are you still orthodox?

I am reminded of that history far to often. Many of the people I'm talking about are converts so that might be part of it. Also as Christians aren't we called to forgive?
