Sorry about that -- it wasn't really aimed at you.

It was your defense of FE that reminded me of what I wanted to say, that's all.

I rephrased my post a bit (toward the beginning).

I just saw your change. But, I actually wasn't defending FE...LOL. I was just pointing out that Vox said one of the reasons why it might get closed down was because she is tired of the nastiness over there. I was trying to point out that what she considers "nasty" isn't really "nasty".

Of course, it's very likely that Vox is simply saying this to get her daily bread. Look at all the replies-- they're all based in sentimentality. Not a single one of those replies correspons to the reality of FE, which is a terrific moral scandal and a stumbling block to traditional Catholicism. Sentimental people are easy to get money out of. That might be the entire purpose of the thread. I noticed a few people wrote "I'll send more money, just don't shut it down!"

As I mentioned earlier, some people will plead to keep the main site up because of it's catechetical value. While I've never found anything objectionable on the FE main site, I've also found nothing on there that can't be found somewhere else. In other words, the only real benefit to the main site is that it is very well organized. It may be a worthwhile venture for some actual traditional Catholics to undertake a similar project in organizing that type of material.

It is simply my personal experience and opinion so I am sure others have differing perspectives, but I found Jayne to be exceptionally uncharitable. Too often accusations of heresy and schism are aimed at people she disagrees with. Even if she is right and the other person is clearly incorrect, her way of correction is fierce and can do much damage to the fragile faith of new comers. Often in threads, she seems very determined to make it about herself, or simply hijacks a thread, shouting down dissenting voices. :drillsergeant:

Perhaps FE could benefit from a retired priest as moderator? This way charity and censure can be doled out from the perspective of one who genuinely wants to save souls.

I would be sad to see it go. It is good to know that traditional catholics are just normal people with normal neurosis and frailties. Sometimes, New converts forget that wrapped up in the perfection, order and solemnity of the mass, there are still imperfect human beings.

FE deserves JayneK to be moderator.
