This forum is by far the most catholic. Some of the other's have made me have to jump in the shower and bathe. The filth and stench are palatable.
I pray that this forum remains clean. We have to all be vigilant, as Mathew has pointed out, for this to happen.

Quite right.
I am very grateful for CI, especially at my reception here considering that I have been quite uncharitable in the past, before I was a traditional Catholic, hanging on to the ruins of the NO.
I was originally under the impression that SD was going to be a traditional forum, as the forum administrator and mods had been banned or run out of FE for being 'disrespectful to the pope' and 'bashing the NO.' My naivete is at fault here. It did not take long to see that it was another social site with a Catholic backdrop. What I'm about to say was deleted from the forum, but SD reminds me of a Martin Scorcese flick. Scandal, liberalism and indecency with a Catholic imagery backdrop. It's an offense to piety that they would impose the Sacred Heart Image upon that site.
The most recent turn of events is just the nasty culmination of the majority of the sites history, which merely
tolerates traditional Catholicism. The administration endorses and promotes liberal and feminist sentiments, and as Bp. Williamson says, when the liberal is challenged the dove becomes a screeching and scratching hawk.
I made the mistake of assuming FE to be a good place for traditional Catholics and it was too late to speak up by the time I was banned. I won't make that mistake with SD. The administration sees fit to bully me off of the forum, as it were, so as not to ban me and make a 'martyr' of sorts who 'bad mouths' them other places. That's another thing-- the grievances against the feminism and liberalism are never satisfied, they are simply referred to as bad mouthing and similar phrases. Anyways, they prefer that I bad mouth them there, where they can lock and delete my posts. I have an extensive catalog of the patently unCatholic events that have occurred there, from users posting songs which sɛҳuąƖize crucifixion (btw-- a moderator had to ask the Administrators
permission to remove that video... months after the fact) the Admin referring to the creators of St Mary's Resistance website as 'morons' the charges against me that I am a rapist, the maligning of my wife, NO apologizing, feminist propaganda promoted and defended... the list goes on.
I recall the beginning of my reversion, joining up at FE and how I was appalled at the 'pompous jerks' who criminalized the NO and relentlessly posted Church Teaching about sensitive topics. It was those people, those traditional Catholics, that I so unjustly maligned as kooks and nutters and their relentless love and zeal for the faith that brought me to taking the faith seriously. Not the liberals who wanted to grey all the principles and make excuses for vice and imperfection. So, if God can use me as a tool to perform a similar service to a person who might be in my position, so be it.
Deus Vult!I will stay on SD to testify to the faith as best I know how. I wish I would have had the presence of mind to do that with FE. No doubt, administration of that forum will see this post and will talk about how I'm not man enough to say this on SD.... news flash, I've been saying it all for months, publicly, and privately, on that forum. NOTHING in this post is news to anyone who reads SD.
Thanks to Matthew and the good hearted traditional Catholics who make up CI. May God see fit to strengthen your faith and bring you ever closer to Him.
