Dear May:

In fact, there is only one kind of Catholic -- one who is validly baptized, validly confirmed in the Catholic Church, is obedient to ALL teachings and disciplines of the Church, loyal and obedient to the Pope and the Magisterium, does not have a "spirit of dissent", and lives in accord, as best he can, to a Catholic worldview. (these points are all discussed in Canon Law).

The reason for all the other descriptions is that people, especially in this profoundly psychologically and spiritually immature country of the United States, choose to be big babies and disobey the Church. Thus factions exist when there should not be any factions.

A Liberal and a Ultra-Traditionalist are just two sides of the same coin -- they both think their opinions outrank the Pope and Magisterium

I get a kick out of calling the Ultra-Traditionalist a bunch of liberals, because they are. They think they know more than the Pope, just like the Liberals, only on the other side of the coin.

Progressive means heretic or otherwise heterodox.

Liberal means heretic or otherwise heterodox.

Dissenter means heretic or otherwise heterodox.

Ultra-Traditionalist means schismatic.

Sede Vacantist means insane idiots.

Traditionalist means favoring anything considered "traditional" as opposed to things not considered "traditional" although the defintion of "traditional" is problematic.

Conservative means wanting to do things the right way as opposed to Liberals who want to do things "their" way.

Neo-Conservative means wanting to do things the right way --sometimes.

Real Catholic means being Catholic in the only way that Catholics are to be.
