[@Andrew-ug8wl]

Silence is a Virtue 🙏🏻

[@danacaro-herman3530]

That's a similar story that St Philip Neri told a woman to do, but only it was a chicken's feathers.

[@ecopley9013]

Detraction is to speak of someone else's sins without necessity and is the name of a sin, the sin of detraction. Gossip is a less precise term for chatter about others, as far as I understand.

[@changedlife1904]

Its more attractive to be quiet than to be loud

[@gracielasharon9587]

What about when its your adult child

[@Cadpat07]

This parish/ priest, are they SSPX or what type of TLM?

[@Recusant_]

Is detraction and gossip synonymous

[@wms72]

Only if you talk about true bad things someone does or did

[@user-ks3qr5fk6m]

I like the topic but it doesn’t seem like a licit Latin mass parish. Who is their bishop?

[@stopfabrications]

Actually, Rev. McKenna is one of the few faithful and valid men of God in the world. There are none attached to the Vatican today (or for the last 60 years).

[@user-ks3qr5fk6m]

@@stopfabrications If St. Hugh of Lincoln Church is not in communion with their bishop and the Pope, they are not Catholic. Remember, Martin Luther never stopped calling himself a Catholic. Have you heard of the “Old Catholic Church”? They left after Vatican I.

[@AntJWarren]

A schismatic church with an illicitly consecrated bishop.

[@MarilynBoussaid-yd1vk]

I looked up their bulletin and sounds to me they are schismatics who reject Vatican II. Bye bye.

​​@@user-ks3qr5fk6mYour ecclesiology is flawed. To be a Catholic, one must be baptized, adhere to the True Faith, and submit to legitimate authority. From. McKenna fits all those criteria. The same cannot be said of the clerics associated with the Vatican II church. 1) the rash of Vatican II clerics who had to be baptized again, after their "ordination" should raise the question of the validity of Vatican II baptisms in general (the form, on paper, is valid...but the theology has been so distorted that it isn't uncommon for New Order clerics to make things up as they go). 2) The Church has infallibly defined that heretical and schismatic sects (Protestants and Orthodox) do not lead to salvation, because they are separated from Christ in their errors. Vatican II teaches otherwise (Unitatis Redintegratio and Lumen Gentium), and thus teaches heresy. Any cleric associated, formally, with the Vatican II sect is thus separated from the Catholic Church by definition. 3) In redefining the membership of the Church, the Vatican II sect rejected the legitimate authority of previous popes (Pope Pius XII is one) and previous Ecumenical Councils (Florence in particular). In rejecting said authority, the Vatican II sect, and the clerics associated with, has separated itself from the Catholic Church. The Vatican II sect is the group mirroring Luther. Luther adopted new theologies (like Vatican II did) and created new rites to match those new, heretical theologies...like Vatican II did. St. Hugh of Lincoln and Fr. McKenna has adhered to ALL the teachings of the Holy Catholic Church, and submits himself to the Magisterium and to his bishop, who likewise embraces the entirety of the Church Faith. If there was a Catholic pope (because the pope of the Vatican II is as much "the pope" as Pope Tawadros II of the Coptic Church), he would submit to him.
