  • No, the Dimond Brothers are a disgrace, and CathInfo is not a disgrace.

    CathInfo does not allow the sectarianism (excommunicating everyone) that MHFM does every single day. So no, we're not the same. I want to say "Get outta here" in the casual sense, but that has a very special meaning for the Moderator of a forum...

    I don't have to come up with a heresy for you. To me, they are destructive of what's left of the Faithful -- the Traditional Movement. By causing people to stay home needlessly, they are leading souls into sin, error, despair, and eternal hell.

    I will not permit "dogmatic home aloners" on the forum. Or any of their propaganda -- sermons, websites, books, etc. That is my decision. That position is destructive, and anathema in my eyes.

    For one thing, Home Aloneism is MUCH more attractive and therefore MUCH MORE of a danger to the average Trad than all the Protestant sects and non-Catholic religions combined! If I allowed Buddhist material on CathInfo, everyone would be up in arms. But why? Is anyone REALLY tempted by Buddhism? I doubt it. But the allure of ultra-pure exclusive "more Trad than the average Trad" Home Aloneist cult? Now we're talking!


    And once again I will define it. "Dogmatic home aloner" is someone who stays home alone on Sunday, and promotes the same, for some dogmatic (usually picky and/or stupid) reason. They might have a valid, Traditional Catholic Mass option nearby, but they don't go for some "dogmatic" reason.

    I am NOT referring those who don't have a decent option for the Tridentine Mass on Sunday. We must not only seek out the "Latin Mass", but priests who are actually Traditional Catholic (in their beliefs, formation, sermons, guidance in the confessional, what they push every week). Valid ordination is also a completely reasonable issue.
    We are not required to find a "conservative novus ordo", or even settle for some Indult option. No, when I say "Traditional Catholic" I mean a chapel of the Traditional Catholic movement, with everything that entails.

    Staying home because a valid priest saying the Tridentine Mass has this or that opinion on the Crisis, or said this or that thing (once, even long ago) that you don't fully agree with -- that is NOT ENOUGH REASON to give up going to Mass.

    Thank you for your strong, clear, substantive, and well-articulated response.  I do not share your same fears concerning the website in question or rather at least not to the degree that you hold them.  Anyway, I won't bother getting down in the weeds about it.  That's neither here nor there as you are the moderator of this site and I respect your well founded (with the exception of your seemingly rhetorically at least dogmatic flat earth) views regarding the welfare of the "CathInfo flock."  I personally, have benefited, from reading some of the material on the site in question and have never come close to being drawn into their home-alonerism.  Be that as it may, I will be the first to admit that not everyone can handle the site, nor perhaps even attempt to.
