Yes, that has been quite the thread. I don't think the whole site has been going for his idiocy though. Many have raised great points to the contrary. I joined up there at the same time as here and there are definitely some laxer people up there but not everyone is falling for Scipio's nonsense. Some are putting up weak arguments in his defense but many others are smoking them.

Telesphorus, are you telemaque? Just asking because of the "tele" part. Anyway I like his fearlessness. We're all tired of the tip-toeing PR and he comes out pulling no punches. Bikinis are not Catholic period. Sad that that's even an argument really.

Maybe I am a Jansenist (though I don't really know what a Jansenist actually is).

Hahaha, yeah, most of the people who call other devout people Jansenists don't know what it means either.

The OP of the of that thread ought to be called a "jellyfish trad."

Candyland trads are very much like the folks who attend Pentecostal services who wave their arms and flail and make noises to appear as if they have a direct line to God. It is a put on, an attempt to win an argument, even when this is none...to create an argument/atmosphere where they take the "holy high ground" and must maintain it at all costs, because that is the "Catholic position".

This has to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Trads are not into charismatic feelings or the consumerist prosperity gospel. On the other hand, Neo-Trads are like Neo-Evangelicals who care more about "winning souls" at any cost, than about sanctity.

Yeah, I am.

They used to have a rating system and I was one of the lowest rated members.

I actually threw away my DVDs and CDs, even the ones that were not blasphemous. I did not sell them, because I figured that would be selling my sins to another person and causing them to sin.

It would not have been selling your sins, but if the DVDs and CDs were sin-inducing it would have been selling things that would have induced others to sin.

What you did was the intelligent and moral thing to do.

I have been aware of situations in the past where people converted but then wanted to sell immoral things they had, claiming the collection was worth a lot of $$$. So what?

I remember one situation when someone would not sell the filth but instead wanted to donate the collection to a Goodwill type store because the person could not bear to ditch the collection. Even though he knew the material was an occasion of sin; he thought it was ok to facilitate it getting into the hands of someone else, and for the charitibale organisation to make money from selling the filth.
