Like two adversaries immolating each other in a fiery crash, I think it is also time for me to take a leave of absence along with Caminus.  
Although in my case I hope it is only temporary.  Hence "au revoir" instead of "farewell."

I love the people here, but I do not love MYSELF when I am here.  I keep falling into the sin of intemperate speech.  Translation:  I have a big mouth and this website is not helping.

I'm tired of the cycle of thoughtlessly posting something, and then feeling guilty afterwards.  I can't take it anymore.  My whole body feels like it has been through the meat-grinder of guilt.  And even when I do think twice or thrice before speaking, I still make mistakes.   I am doing something wrong and need to consult with Mary in silence to figure out what it is.

Not to be a sob sister.  I'll probably pop in and leave brief comments in this section, the Crisis in the Church, where I have done okay.  It's elsewhere that I got into trouble.  

I could have left this all unsaid except that I want to put a dividing line between the "old" Raoul76 and the "new" Raoul76, when and if I return.  Certain peccadilloes of mine must not be repeated.

 :cry:

B4 your sabbatical could you show us a specific act of Pius XII that reflects disapproval of Fr Feeney?

The same exact thing as you report happened to me a couple of years ago when I was posting on the "Traditional" subforum of a well-known Catholic forum. I was warned twice by the moderators because of sarcastic and ill-tempered remarks I kept making to the same provocateurs whose only function seems to be to trip up unwary posters like me. I realized that the forum had become an occasion of sin for me and I stopped posting altogether. Eventually I joined this forum and while I still read some other Catholic forums I do not join in because I have that same propensity still.

Having said that, I would like to add that the great guide book The Spiritual Combat advises us that sometimes the best way to acquire a virtue is by practicing it. You can abstain from posting but will that help you acquire the virtues of prudence and temperance? I would be content never to post, only to read and enjoy others' comments. I post occasionally on purpose, in order that I can develop the necessary virtues of charity and humility. I think I have made progress. I will never know unless I try.

You people [those whose Catholicism consists of ONE, incorrectly understood dogma] are something else - truly.
