This is a copy/paste of Fr. Girouard's latest email announcing his new post about Facebook and social medias. He had published two other posts about this, on March 25th and March 27th. If you click on the link Father is giving in his email, you will reach the home page of the Bastion of the Faith, and you can read his three posts.

God bless.

Dear faithful from Aldergrove and Post Falls,

I have written a new post today, which will hopefully be the last one I need to write about Facebook and social medias. It concerns a new study on their harmful effects on users. The title of my post is: Warning: Beware Zombie Mass-Producing Tools!

God bless,

Fr. Girouard

I have given up facebook, and as a result, I have much more time in my day.

Are forums, like this board, considered social media?

I am becoming more addicted to this forum as it is one of the few forums that has it all:

News, information, and good people.

I asked Fr. Girouard, and he said that his 3 posts on the Bastion of the Faith were firstly directed at Facebook and other such platforms, like linkeldin and others. Father is using Cathinfo as a source of information, but he doesn't waste time "discussing" topics. He is just looking for news and facts, not for the personal opinions of other people. He said that no matter what we do, we have to make sure we do not waste the precious time God has lent to us in this life. Cathinfo and other sites should be used not for vain curiosity or to promote one's personal opinions, but to help us learn what is going on that can be useful. He said that the dossiers that grew up on Cathinfo about "bishop" Ambrose Moran and Father Tetherow are good examples of how useful a forum can be. The danger is when we spend too much time on a platform.
