Agreed.  Thanks for saying something civil and decent. We scare potential Catholics off with all the apparent hate.  Can't be good they say.

Lover of Heresy continues to pertinaciously reject the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas (and the Athanasian Creed) ... after having derided St. Thomas as an ignorant fool who does not understand Scripture.

1. To be fair, this site tends to be a bit more open. It's sort of like "Catholic Gab" that way, though it predates gab. That openness to "dialog" also means you've allsorts here more than the other sites. That means more fights.
2. I've been to at least some of those sites and I guess we just had vastly different experiences.
 1. Bellarmine? Snobs and bullies.
 2. "Faithful Catholics" Booted not because I was saying anything, but because I was asked a question by the BoD police. It's BoD or else over there. I could go on, but there is assessment, and then there is talking behind another's back.
3. I'll leave you at the civil bit, because we're just not gonna get along there either.

The irony, esp. of getting booted for being (Sede, "Feeney" etc.) is that I come to places like this to possibly find something that I missed, to be proven wrong. I absolutely despise being a Sede, but God hates lies.

Which segues into people getting frustrated because you ask for reason, for evidence, for argument, for something substantial and sound and then you, 9/10 get a bunch of irrelevant rubbish.

Case in point: an individual recently stated that there was explicit condemnation of Sedevacantism. Okay, great then. IF that is so, then it is so, and Catholics say "roger" and drive on.

But, you'd think such a potentially great work of mercy wouldn't even need to be asked for, let alone begged for, but of course it was just a bs tease as always. IN short, you look for reason and find a liar.

Anyway, I'm quitting this whilst hopefully ahead and to be square, straight, and clear, we aren't on the same page either, but as stated before, no need to get ridiculous even with an enemy. Matter of fact that is much more likely to be fatal than a to be a fool amongst friends.

out.

I thought the above was from Ladislaus.  Sorry.  This site is indeed more open.  But the fights could be more civil.  The name-calling and yuck. Other things.  Also out-right lies, repeated over and over again.  Underhanded tactics.  Did I mention lies?  Can't respect people like that.  At all.  Always gets personal.  YOU heretic.  YOU modernist.  Always.  More yuck.  

For me Bellarmine, snobs, not sure what word is best, bullies, didn't see that.  Civil.  Yes.  On topic?  Yes.  Mean and petty?  No.  Didn't see it.  

Faithful Catholics.  Not much experience.  But the experience I have is good.  We could get along if we talk like this.  I'm in defense mode here because people (particular person) are yucky.  Don't read much.  Just post so people see what Fathers, Saints, Doctors, Pope taught.  Often not civilly refuted.  Just John 3:5 as if that undermines everything.  Help.  Nothing worthwhile said.  Posturing, grandstanding.  And always personal YOU bad.  YOU no good.  

No offense to anyone but this is the last place you will get good theology. Bellarmine forums is best for that.  Tons of stuff from bona-fide theologians.  Sound theologians.  Catholics like that.  

Irrelevant rubbish.  Yes.  Much.  That is why I close eyes and punch.  Want to leave people with Fathers, Saints Doctors, Popes rather than mean YOU heretic rubbish.  YOU teach ignorance saves.  I do not.  YOU teach desire is sacrament.  I do not.  Lies, lies and more lies.  Underhanded.  Stupid.  

I enjoyed your post.  We can talk.  Proof is necessary.  There is tons of proof for SV, EENS, BOD.  All on same side, all Catholic, not pitted one against another.
