What is the matter with Cath Info?

    • What is the f...ing matter with Cath Info?

    Why are initials and dots or ### symbols allowed at all? Isn't this a Catholic website?

    Christ is Risen and we seem not to care.

    Christ is Risen and we drop f-bombs without a care.

    However, each time you or I see that f-bomb, we know what it does deep inside our souls.

    What if He, the Risen Lord, were to come tomorrow and we had thought, typed, and/or read those f.-bomb words?

    What then, if without the benefit of repentance or confession, we were to be judged by the Risen Lord?

    • I understand what you're saying, but you really should have picked a better title. It's not CathInfo that's the problem. It's a few individuals.

    There are also different types of foul language. Profanity -- blasphemy, swearing, cursing -- isn't tolerated. But, I don't usually see that here. What we have are the writings of a few fools who can't articulate their thoughts without resorting to non-religious, yet offensive expletives.

    On the other hand, if someone is frequently resorting to such vulgarities, feel free to alert the moderator.  :cowboy:  :cussing:  :cowboy:

    Take the beam out of your own eye, hypocrite. The original title of this thread, plus the first sentence of your OP, contradicts the rest of your post.

    • The Maronite Patriarch has issued a docuмent regarding the use of social media.

      Intra-ecclesial online brawls on doctrinal matters are now spreading among Christians in the East. A drift that the Maronite Church is now trying to counter with a singular initiative: a doctrinal handbook, with pastoral instructions, which paradoxically is directed not to those who approach Christianity for the first time, but to all those - priests, religious, self-proclaimed experts and “insiders”, internet “gurus”, and lay “militants” belonging some ecclesial acronym or gang - who on traditional media and social networks are turning the contents of the Catholic faith into a relentless battlefield.

    • The docuмent, signed by the Maronite Patriarch Béchara Boutros Raï, is entitled “The truth that liberates and unites”: it was released on Monday 9 April, and presented as a doctrinal compendium to which all those who speak or debate on questions and issues concerning the Catholic faith and the teaching of the Church must adhere. 
     
    One of the declared objectives of the patriarchal pronouncement is to neutralize the spiral of controversy, personal attacks, poisonous doctrinal accusations launched against priests, bishops through small virtual doctrinal tribunals that are now multiplying even in the Maronite blogosphere, often using fake social media accounts. The patriarchal text tries to “set things straight” by claiming the magisterial function of ecclesiastical authority, represented “in the person of the Patriarch and the bishops”. The docuмent calls on members of the clergy and religious communities to deal with doctrinal and ethical issues in the media only after obtaining the authorization of their own bishop or superior; it reminds all “web communicators” the canonical dispositions that would eventually affect those who misuse the media to transmit ideas and contents that are not compatible with the teaching of the Church, or those who slander others by acting far from any spirit of “fraternal correction”.

    Maybe it would be a good idea to do an examination of conscience and ask ourselves what are our motivations. Are we giving good fraternal correction in our criticisms, or are we just slandering other people?
