Deborah Gyapong: Fr. Z has a point

Fr. Z has a point

Dissidents, and you can make your own list, will tear at the Church’s cult, code and creed very often with impunity in schools, parishes and in dioceses. Meanwhile, people who want nothing more than to uphold the tradition we have received from our forebears regarding cult, code and creed are often identified by duly appointed pastors as being the dangerous ones, they who must be repressed, they who are making trouble. Sometimes they bring this on themselves by being jerks, but that is an issue for a different entry.

This comment is in a long post about SSPX, about which I know little. But I think he has a point about how dissidents are treated with impunity but those who hold to tradition are treated as troublemakers. Yes, some do bring this on themselves by being jerks. No doubt about it. But sadly, that is not always the case.
