CathInfo.com

.

FYI I took a quick look around Fisheaters, and found a thread with some 30+ pages whining about how terrible CathInfo is, with nothing objective to back up the whining.  Plus, the posts have no dates, so I couldn't tell if they were a week old or 5 years old.  Plus, a lot of posts were partially hacked down with words missing and notes in there place that something was removed by "Vox," whatever "Vox" is.   Maybe like Sox? or Box? or Pox?  

Fox?

Rox?

Cox?

I had a cat named Gax.   Maybe he ran away and started a forum?  

Anyway, there's one giant segment of Fisheaters that lists a bunch of random thread titles with no catagories, and no apparent relation to each other.  I picked a few of them to read and found the posts have almost nothing to do with the thread titles, either.  None of these threads or posts I found had ANY DATES on them.

Then there's a page here from the CathInfo gripespot:


Quote from: DustinsDad


The scandal here is whether or not a traditional catholic forum condones transɛҳuąƖism and sex change operations. That is insanity and that is the main scandal. That a person unfortunately entangled in such diabolical disorders is also apparently a promiscuous ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ is hardly a shocker, nor is the fact that this particular aspect of his life was kept off the pages of a traditional catholic forum.

So what's the deal here? Is someone gonna try to tell me transɛҳuąƖism and sex changes are traditional? (cue twilight zone music here)


The "forum" doesn't condone anything. It's a thing.

As to what I, myself, condone, I don't see why that should matter to anyone, really; I'm just a person on the web, like everyone else -- no one's guru, no one's priest, in possession of no authority in the Church whatsoever. But, FYI, I believe what the Church teaches.  Everyone should study encyclicals, ask their priests, read Catechisms, read Vatican docuмents issued to Bishops, etc., to figure out what that is.

First, I don't "gotta" do anything.

Second, no, I won't do a "quick search" to find dirt on people. I will leave that to the holier-than-thou types.

Third, of course I chide people for not being nice to other posters. No one has ever had to agree with what she was doing, however. If you can't see the difference, well, that's why wars get started.

Fourth, I didn't see anyone "mocking" the Faith at all. She is a Catholic, she's a sinner like you are. Let's air your dirt, shall we?

Fifth, if you're worried about things like "porn sites" being "connected to" FE because some member here is alleged to have visited one, then you shouldn't. I'd bet a good 75% of forum members have visited a porn site in the past 6 months. How other people here visiting porn sites would make you look like a "fool" is beyond me. I think you should worry less about other people's sins and focus more on your own.
 



Stop. Calm down. Take a breath. I'll pray for you.  :pray2: :pray2:

Vox, you're the captain of this ship.  You're in charge of what used to be one of the biggest most popular Traditional Catholic websites on the internet.  People felt like they found a treasure when they discovered this place.

You direct it.  Your leadership is reflected when you either enforce rules, break them, or ignore them.  Your personality is seen in this forum by the way you run it.

It does matter.  What you condone matters.  You're not just a person on the web.  You're an important person.  Right now, your actions will determine the thoughts and perhaps even spiritual direction of at least a hundred people.  The magnifying glass is on you and your Fisheaters.  You are not anonymous.  You are not a civilian.  You are not powerless.  How you conduct yourself as the manager of this institution matters.

You may not have spiritual authority, but you do have temporal authority--of this discussion forum.  This collection of thinkers and conversationalists.  And what you do here will not only affect the members of Fisheaters who've stuck around for whatever reason, but those actions will also affect people who participate on other forums, as well as people who are thinking about joining forums.

The only question for you at this moment...at this apex of the moment...is...what do you want Fisheaters to be?

Is it still a Traditional Catholic forum?

Of course it's a traditional Catholic forum. Always has been and always will be as long as it's around.  I have never condoned or taught a thing against Church teaching, not even once.

For the record, this is what "traditional Catholicism" means:  traditional Catholicism  It doesn't mean judging other people's souls, casting stones, committing the sins of detraction and calumny, all of which I refuse to do. It also doesn't mean not being a sinner, though that's the obvious goal. I am not going to search the internet to find stuff on people that's none of my business and then ban them for it here or re-post it in order to -- hmm, to what exactly, I'm not sure. Dehumanize? Humiliate? Call into question the Catholiciity of someone? Make myself look better than someone else?  Whatever the goal of such a thing, it's very not my style. I am not the Judge. If that makes me and my forum "scandalous" (ahem), then so be it. I wouldn't want people trying to dig up dirt on me or people I love, and I don't want to do that to others or allow it here. It simply isn't the Catholic thing to do, and the people doing it should be very ashamed of themselves, at least as ashamed if not more ashamed than people who post on a not-so-nice dating site. At least there's no malice in that, as sinful as it might be. Malice is the key to me. And some people have been really full of that around here lately. It's ugly.
 
 








With a forum like that, my first hunch was, "Could this be a bunch of queer sympathizers with garbage on the brain?"  So, why would it be any surprise then, that they would support sodomy and cross-dressing?



.

Fisheaters has been a cesspool for years before the Impy scandal reared its ugly head. Last year's endorsement of transɛҳuąƖism simply cracked the whole thing wide open and exposed the filth for all to see.

And yet, through all this, Fr Cekada has been a semi to regular poster... and has remained silent on these outrages.

Why? Is it simply a matter of FE's higher numbers? Is he hoping to grab a few more sales for "Work of Human Hands" there? And yet sedevacantism is a forbidden subject there, isn't it?

It's more than a little odd. But in any case, Fr Cekada's silence (and I find it hard to believe he could be ignorant of all this) is, to put it mildly, disconcerting.

Sedevacantism is now allowed.  From what I can see, Fr Cekada posts in one or two sub-forums and he doesn't post a lot.  There may be a flurry of his posts at a given time but then you don't see him for awhile.  I have never seen him post in the one forum where all the hoopla occurred.

So, I wouldn't be surprised if he did not know. Why don't you write him, tell him what happened and then see what he does/doesn't do?  I know there are certain posters who have an axe to grind with him, but personally I wish he'd post here instead.
