And think of all revenue that it could generate for your family.  And think of all Catholic and conservative groups that will join that have been banned or restricted by Facebook.  Time to take back social
Media.  ( I don’t twitter, Instagram.).

Depending on what you want to use Facebook for, there are a multitude of other apps/sites out there that you could use. If it's just for messaging something like Whatsapp lets you send (encrypted) messages to friends and family for free and make group chats, etc. without having to see anti-Catholic content or risk getting banned.

This sounds like a great idea! Facebook has an obvious agenda and it's not pro-Christian. Something with the functionality of Facebook but without the anti-Christian and anti-family slant would be a terrific gathering places for people of faith. If it could have a Catholic focus, all the better!

Funding?/Re: We need a Catholic alternative to facebook.

I think some needs to come up with a company that has an alternative to facebook and other social media.  Why do all the liberals operate social media? 


Catholic owned and controlled which supports the Catholic family while providing a truly conservative Facebook alternative that filters out anti Christian agendas and open to all Christians. 

What a great idea!

But to quote from the movie The Right Stuff: Q: "D'you know what makes these rockets go up?"  A: "Well, explaining the aero-dy-namics alone would take a long time"  A (interrupting): "It's funding that makes these rockets go up!"

Sooo, what do you plan as the substitute for all the millions of dollars that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's venture-capital firm provided to enhance the original Facebook, and polish its roughness, hmmm?

I'm sure that various more-or-less traditional Catholic computerists would be eager to get involved in developing the software, but you do understand, don't you, that while doing such development, they'd need to be able to pay for their own expenses (e.g., food, electricity, mortgage, rent, &c.), if not those of an entire family.

Inspection of the source code (i.e., HTML) for the cited page in <conservativefiringline.com> reveals it to be dependent on the high-overhead Javascript technology.  So it displays a completely blank page to my browser, which quite sensibly has Javascript disabled, specifically because of its burdensome overhead.

Displaying a blank page under such circuмstances leads directly to my summary judgment of disqualification.  It also strongly suggests creation by computationally clueless people [×] who probably shouldn't be relied upon to operate a major social Web site.
