- Admits he finds baseball more important than the serious world events we discuss on this forum.
- Posts combative, baiting threads wherein he accuses men who don't share his infantile love of watching men in tights gambol about a field with one another of being "untrustworthy," even lumping them in with fαɢɢօts (I hope the irony is not lost on anyone else).
- Becomes combative with Matthew personally over this retarded issue on the aforementioned thread.
- Posts a positively effeminate drama-queen-like poll asking us to either "Vote him off" the forum or else beg him not to deprive us of his precious presence (as an aside, the fact that the majority voted for the latter in that case is yet another shining example of the inherent flaws in democracy).
- Clings to an Americanist neocon worldview at odds with Traditional Catholicism whilst still (I think?) considering himself a "Traditional Catholic" (or at least a "REAL Catholic," as per his signature).
- Arrogantly rebuffs all attempts at fraternal correction of his neocon errors.
- Ignores the repeated suggestions of others that he familiarize himself with Catholic Social Teaching with respect to economics, starting with "Rerum Novarum;" opts instead to favor materialistic capitalism, openly praising corporate behemoths like WalMart which fly in the very face of Catholic Morality by crushing family owned businesses and selling subpar garbage made by wage slaves in Communist China.
- Admits to siding with the ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan because the Mohammedans are so mean and scary we must certainly ally ourselves with тαℓмυdic Zionist Christkillers in order to protect ourselves.
- Admits to a grossly un-Catholic admiration of a Protestant Zionist heretic like Pat Robertson, offers a weak "well it's either Robertson or Pope Francis" false dichotomy as a justification for admiring a heretic.
- Responds to a fraternal correction which suggested he turn off heretics and turn to the writings of great Catholic Saints like Chrysotom, Augustine and Aquinas with the following contemptuously moronic remark: "Oh yeah? What channel are they on?"
- And, finally, more or less admits to apostasy by saying that he has "happily" traded in the Catholic Mass and Sacraments for a weekly Sunday dose of the 700 Club. He swiftly confirms his status as a heretic (or at least one who is flirting disastrously close to heresy) by posting a bizarre screed against the Dogmatic Definition of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, wherein he bizarrely claims to accept the dogma, whilst insisting that doubts about the dogma raised before its solemn definition ought to still be seriously entertained, and whilst denying in effect the right or competence of Pope Pius XII to dogmatically define the Assumption (because, in Crossbros words, he "personally" cannot imagine anyone going to hell for denying this dogma).
All this from the self-described "REAL Catholic."
Sorry, Crossbro, but I think you fall into the "FAKE Catholic" category described in your sig. I am unable, of course, to judge your intentions or interior disposition - that is for God alone - but I can most certainly judge your words, as you've presented them in this forum. You strike me as a type lamentably common among Catholics in this nation - an Americanist neocon. Your conception of morality and masculinity are rooted not in the traditional philosophies of the One True Faith, but in the murky morass of American "conservatism," hence your susceptibility to errors like laissez-faire Capitalism, Zionism and Protestantism, and your disordered, infantile obsession with wasteful, idolatrous distractions like professional spectator sports.
You have discarded the Catholic Faith without ever having made any substantive attempt to discover what Catholicism is beyond the corrupt confines of your own Novus Ordo diocese in favor of an Americanist Neocon Protestant TV show, which fits more comfortably into your Americanist Neocon worldview (and passive spectator lifestyle). In short, while you may have been a Catholic in some nominal sense before, you were never a Catholic first and foremost (as every Catholic ought to be)... You judged the Catholic Church and Faith according to the standards of your nationality and political persuasions when in fact, you should have done the reverse.
So Crossbro... Taking into account all of the above, and for the good of the forum's general quality, I must ask:
Why are you still here?
You're clearly at odds with Traditional Catholicism, and thus, with Traditional Catholics. You've been met with hostility and met others with hostility pretty regularly during your tenure here. You've shown no interest in learning more about Traditional Catholicism. You seem at this point to just be lobbing bombs at the forum with each new baiting, anti-intellectual, utterly irrelevant and vapid thread you start. And now you're even taking the forum's founder and owner to task over what you perceive to be a lack of virility on his part.
So why are you still here? Surely there are neoconservative / Gung Ho Americanist / Shallow "Dudebro" type "manly" forums out there that would be a better fit for you? Why post yet another combative thread meant to flamebait us sports-hating "untrustworthy" eggheads? What's the point?
