Trad Distinction from Orthodox

There are some things that cradle Catholics just don't understand about converts and Protestantism unless it's explained to them really well.  Likewise, there are some things that converts (no matter how much official Church teaching they learn) don't understand about traditionalists unless it is explained to them.  This article does a great job of doing just that.

All Your Church Are Belong To Us  (hat tip Fr Z)

While I get what the author is saying, I think it's quite clear that the same flag hung outside of St. Stan's is also hung outside of OLV.  So it's a good analogy and helps me to understand a little more, but I think it's somewhat an over generalization.  I will say that I do have a similar feeling, though.  If a priest starts talking about the "spirit of V2" or in vague abstracts of love that don't really mean anything I immediately think, "oh boy, here we go".  On the contrary, once I hear "tradition, magisterium, catechism" my ears perk up.
