You are still there...for now. "Downrated" 60 points in the last 5 days for defending Catholic truth? And this is a desirable site to post on?

Quantity does not mean quality as you well know. If quantity is your goal, you'd do more of a service preaching true Catholicism on Catholic Answers where at least most of the posters are sincere instead of frauds.

I'm pretty sure I would be banned at Catholic Answers pronto.

I don't think so. You are a well mannered poster. Catholic Answers posters still believe in Traditional morality and piety. They are simply not educated to a great extent on the Society's legal status questions.

Where Catholic Answers folks would debate substance with you, the Neo-Trads would simply personally attack you to try to silence you out of hatred and their guilty conscience. It is a paradox, but one I've found to be true.

I'm beginning to see more and more that Neo-Trads are truly liberals clothed in Traditional trappings. Neo-Catholics are not Traditional, but are much closer to Trads in their morality and personal piety. Yes, they have the obedience issue wrong, but are sincere. Neo-Trads, in contrast are an insincere, conflicted, and dangerous lot.

Haha. Telesphorus, did I not call it a while back that you would be guillotined eventually? Columba and Scipio were on borrowed time when I was there.

I'm still there.

What is this "downrating"? The mods new way of trying to diminish your credibility by plastering their disapproval ratings next to your name? Haha!

Yes, well, after a certain point, it starts to backfire on them.

Well Stevus, while the site has a lot of problems, it has a large audience.

I suppose it's hard to know what the right strategy is.

Not to knock chant's site - but I hope someone will start another forum with a good core of posters who have the real Catholic sense. Angelqueen is good, but more alternatives are always good, provided people can find them and keep them active.

The sad truth is that the "majority" of people can't handle the truth -- don't want the truth. It bothers them; it pricks at their conscience.

If CathInfo is to stay a forum full of sincere Catholics interested in the truth, it will never have as many members as Fisheaters. That's something I accepted long ago.

However, on the plus side, I haven't had to "prime the pump" here for a LONG time (that is, posting news stories to keep a steady flow of new posts). It's about as busy as FE was a few years ago. There are always several users online, day and night, and plenty of unregistered guests perusing the site at all times. There are plenty of posts to keep up with -- almost too many if you have much of a life!

So it's a very popular forum, even if it's still a bit more "quality" than "quantity".

There is truth in that. While the Neo-Catholic higher-ups like Keating, West, Akin, Shea, and Hahn know what they're doing, many Neo-Catholics are ignorant, but not necessarily immoral. If they would only wake up and see the abuses and questionable practices that go on at their own NO masses, as well as Modernism the corrupts the Church today. Occasionally I have listened to EWTN radio and just last week a woman called in about St. Pio not being a big fan of pants. The EWTN respondent(I think it was Pat Madrid), stated that it wouldn't be a bad idea to take Padre Pio's advice since he was much holier and closer to Christ than most of us. Hmm, how interesting I thought.

Fisheaters originally started as a way to reach out to Neo-Catholics and show them the way, instead the Trads just became Neo-Caths(Trads). I guess they were trying to "meet them half way."
