As I've said before, posting on FE for a long period of time is dangerous because it can brainwash someone. The first time I ever visited that site, they were talking about shooting games.
I visited it the other day and they were talking about baseball and ESPN. What are topics like that doing on a (so-called) Trad forum? I am glad I never posted there.
I posted there a couple years ago and a gαy woman got all upset with me because in Catholic Charity I reiterated the Churches Teaching on ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity and it was as if the sky was falling. Several people were apparently outraged with me because of my "insensitive" and "Uncharitable" comments including the one you are speaking about and her now ex husband especially. I wondered what happened to him since when I went back there recently after a two year absence I didnt see him on there. Amazingly I wasnt banned- but only because I left because Lent was beginning and I never go on the Computer during Lent.
I joined this forum shortly after that happened but I rarely posted here until recently. So now these things make a little more sense to me.
Wow, that is crazy. The gαy woman should have been banned.
Example: <<<<Then what are you arguing about? Again, you are simply saying there are contradictions, and I see none.
Malleus: Well just because your eyes are malfunctioning , thats a you problem. I am not arguing , you apparently are.
And no one ever said that claiming to be "gαy" was courageous. Some people said that laurabookworm was courageous, for being open about her struggles. But that's different. So again, what are you arguing? Are you arguing with your own royal "we" in your head? We're all in agreement here, but you're accusing others of being against Church teaching, with nothing to back up the truth of that statement. So basically, you are throwing about grave accusations for no reason at all.
Malleus: I didnt accuse Laura of ANYTHING. I made a broad statement condemning the gαy Agenda and its effects on this Society in which we live. Some have taken it so far as to state its part of their Catholic identity . I cite the Dignity movement for example. IN NOT ONE OF MY CONTRIBUTIONS DID I ACCUSE A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL HERE.
What part of that remains unclear to you?
If you feel the subject of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity itself nauseating, perhaps you should choose another discussion. Saints such as Thomas Aquinas spent a great deal of time discussing such issues at length and I can't imagine them puking and needing smelling salts. Get a grip man.

Malleus: What is nauseating (other than reading the pointless diatribe you just contributed) is the ACCEPTANCE of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity. It has nothing to do with discussing it. Perhaps if you want to know what I think , rather than introduce Strawman after Strawman assuming what I meant - how about another approach , you know like asking for CLARIFICATION for example and thus you may save yourself future embarrassment.
And why is it that LAURA Knew exactly what I was saying and neither you nor Quis is able to? >>>>>
I'll drop the subject now - but I vividly remember being attacked from all sides.
Thanks to all of you for the new perspective.
