Given the scandals that go on at FE, I can't help but think of Quis and Vox as the Traditional Catholic version of the Tel-evangelists:

Just think about it:
Asking/Begging for money
Immorality behind the scenes
Marriage/Divorce scandals
Questionable audience
Defense of bad practices
Bad theology
People walking away, sensing that something isn't right.

Given their love for animals I think the above picture fits them well.

Caraffa,

Many Neo-Caths actually hate the liturgical abuses but fail to do anything (or are held powerless) because out of obedience they keep attending the Masses and their protests are ignored by the liberal authorities. They like Masses by the book, and thus, if they became Trads, they would want the TLM "by the book".

The Neo-Trads, being liberals, prefer the TLM because they are rebels. They want to go against the mainstream to be different, but inside they are liberals. They want to experiment with the TLM, incorporate certain new elements stating that they were used in the past (communion under both kinds, etc) and play around with it, relax and ignore dress codes, play around with the music, etc.

If we really want to make good Trads we should try to convert some of these Neo-Caths over. The Neo-Trads are a lost cause and truly belong with the libs at the puppet masses, but they are too proud and desirous of attention to join them.

Caraffa,

LOL! That was awesome. Thanks for my laugh today. It's so funny because it's so true!

I am planning on starting my own forum in the future ( a few years). I would be the only moderator of course, in line with the monarchist principals of our Faith, but I would only ban someone for blasphemy or persistent bad will/heresy.

Quote from: ChantCd

Vox is either very dense, or is pretending to be.

There is a big difference between a PUBLIC sin, and a private one.

When you're living together but not married, that's a public scandal. It's not like most peoples' sins which are usually private.

If Vox wanted to live in peace and not be critiqued, she shouldn't have voluntarily stepped into the limelight by running one of the largest Catholic fora on the Internet.

Sorry, Vox, but leaders are judged differently than commoners. They are held up as examples, and when they fall short, it's more visible (and dangerous!)

Moreover, if I didn't speak out about a public scandal, I would be guilty myself. Yet if Vox was my next-door neighbor, who no one knew, I would be gravely sinning by spreading around news of her sin.

But in this case, it's Vox and Quis themselves that made it public knowledge, and it forces good Catholics to distance themselves from approval of their actions -- lest innocent Catholics be scandalized.

True, they are all over, yet allow attacks on Trad Catholic thinking..after joining this forum, I went back there and though there are meany good epople there, I have continously been attacked for sticking up for an all-encompassing Catholicworld view, this includes rejected modern economics, war, politics,e tc.....for taht I have around a -61 fishie...

what is a fishie, it is a popularity contest where people can give you, 1 per hour, a atta boy or a negative rating......Have complained it is inane and childish, was told to ignore it or suck it up, like I wa a nut....

As if popularity has ANYTHING to do with the truth.

If anything, the truth is NOT popular. Usually whatever most people want is not good for them.

Bill Clinton was popular. Obama is popular. Michael Jackson is/was popular. Television is popular. Soda is popular. Materialism is popular.

Need I say more?

You'all are so good at making FE sound so inviting.

I've never signed onto their forum, and I don't know anything about them. So they're feminists and liberals or something?

No, I would put it as a mix of traditional Catholics and worldlings.

Personally I don't have much against the Fisheaters forum or the posters there, but I must admit some of the posters there are quite humorous (not intentionally I think!). :)
