On Tradism

[Justin Kissel]

I didn't guess that my little apologia wouldn't go over well here To be honest, it was exaggeration mixed with humor mixed with firm convictions of mine. As anyone who knows me knows, I tend to be a stickler for referencing stuff, going to the point of putting academia-like footnotes in brackets into some posts... so suffice to say, this was meant to be something wholly different. Anyway, consider it and attempt at a heuristic essay, consider it schlock, consider it whatever you wish. Just don't consider it a precise outline of my current views. I was rash and over-reaching before towards the right, this post was the exact opposite of that (ie. rash and over-reaching towards the left). I know that some of the stuff I said was technically inaccurate (e.g., about factions in St. John's time... a better point might be to discuss how a Saint of our Church participated in one of his exiled). I guess if I had it to do over again I would have edited it before I posted it. That being said, I think some of the thoughts aren't wholly without merit. Not totally.
