A lot of Sedes have been constantly squawking about a "sell-out" and using the Williamson affair as a chance to divide the Society, instill hopelessness in Society members and get them to become schismatics along with them. It seems they take every chance they get through whatever means necessary to ruin any possible doctrinal discussions with Rome. In my opinion Sedevacantism is poison and a false solution to the Crisis. Sedevacantism is the mirror image of Neo-Catholicism in that both mindsets delusionally ignore the crisis. The Neo-Caths say, what crisis? The Church is fine. The Sedes say, what crisis? There is no Pope. Only crisis is in a false church anyway. Neither mindset either recognizes the true nature of the crisis or encourages jack squat to actually be done about it. Neo-Caths passively await orders and what insanity they will defend next. Sedes passively sit there in their caves waiting for God to re-establish His Church miraculously while they take pot shots at the Society and other Trads who are actually trying to do something to resolve the crisis.

As I've said before, what possible basis do Society Catholics and Sedes have to discuss any crisis in the Church? The Sede response will be one or two lines saying "see I told you he's not Pope" or "there goes the anti-Church again", etc. There is nothing to discuss if you are a Sede except how miserable this anti-pope and false church is. If you are a Society Catholic there are very many substantive issues and distinctions to be discussed in what is happening in the true Church that REALLY is visible and does exist during this crisis.

I see a lot less activity on the forum lately and I'm afraid it is due to the large influx of Sedes who either kill or derail any intelligent non-Sede discussion of the crisis. This is why I requested any Sede discussion limited to its own forum. Sedevacantist premises completely eviscerate the dialogue between non-Sedes. How can I have an intelligent discussion on anything the Pope did with someone who is working off the premise he is an evil usurper layman? We're not even on the same planet.

I agree with much of your post, Stevus --

But I'm not going to make any changes to the Crisis subforum. Your summary makes sense in the abstract, but practically speaking they do have something to contribute.

And I disagree with the bit about "less traffic lately". Traffic comes and goes -- it completely depends on the presence/absence of a "hot thread". People participate in fits and starts. Traffic comes in bursts -- feast or famine. There's always an ebb and flow.

I wish I had a dime for every time someone predicted CathInfo's demise. I'd have a lot more time for CathInfo -- because I wouldn't have to work for a living anymore!

To be honest, I am not at all concerned with what goes on in apostate Rome and the Society is becoming a lost cause. Internal conflict seems to be the order of the day all round and the clutching of straws on many a blog is getting very depressing. I think I am going to see more spirituality in fly-fishing or rose-growing. I will pass on golf.

Fair enough, Matthew.

I didnt mean to say Cath Info is doomed or dying. I'm just saying a trend I noticed lately. I still like the forum.

As an aside, how was your time in the seminary? Why did you decide to leave? I've always been interested in Society seminary life. Any interesting classes that stood out?

Thanks!

I saw that article. No surprise that AQ deleted it either. They love locking and deleting threads over there.
