@Klaus Elmar Müller You should make sure you know of that which you speak….BEFORE you open your mouth and slam your foot deep into it. In charity, and because I deem your dismally blithering ignorance to be rooted in innocence, I will forgo the reproof and censure you so richly deserve for your erroneous presumption, revoltingly arrogant though it may be. That being said, please know and be irrevocably certain of this one thing: I would never, ever frame any words, nor would it ever even occur to me to conceive of any words, privately or publicly, that would express (to quote you) “hating the traditional Catholic faith” and “hiding this hatred in superficial, mocking criticism of externals such as the venerable Cappa Magna.” And any assertion to the contrary by you or any other ill-informed ne’er-do-well is absolutely absurd and utterly asinine. To attempt, falsely, to place my words in such a sickening, mendacious context is grossly misleading, and is nothing less than a ponderous, outrageous, evil LIE that borders on the diabolical. I have nothing but the zenith of love, respect, honor and esteem for the illustrious Raymond Cardinal Burke, whom I hold in the highest regard and maintain the deepest filial affection toward, as one of the few, true and faithful remaining Shepherds and sweet Princes of Holy Mother Church to be found in stalwart, uncompromising leadership within her remnant of this generation. As a devotee of Tradition I ADORE his undaunted commitment to the ancient Roman Rite, and with awe and the reverence due all things sacred and holy, I GLORY in his adherence to the rubrics and vestments thereof, as they have been prescribed and practiced from time immemorial for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass….I live for the day when all such things of the like, as have been fiendishly stolen from the patrimony of the Faithful by the satanic machinations of freemasons and other scions of Luther and Lucifer, will be FULLY and WHOLLY and universally restored. So don’t get it twisted. My humorous reference to His Eminence’s beautiful lime green shoes was made to bring complimentary attention to an aspect of his ecclesiastical attire that was partially hidden and almost uncaptured by the naked eye; in that, by definition, liturgical footwear is often obscure, rarely vividly seen and goes unremarked, unlike the instantly recognizable and wondrously voluminous Cappa Magna or other prominent articles of holy vestment popularly seen and observed for such sacred occasions and celebrations. It was a comment made to accentuate the unveiling of the unusual. Nothing more, I assure you. And certainly nothing as nefarious as you have, with great calumny and egregious offense, accused me of, without cause or justification.
