Quote from: Exilenomore

Let us pray that God will lead people away from such blasphemy.

Personally, I believe that in totality very few NO Catholics ever really are lead out of the fire.

There is also a hard attrition rate for traditional Catholics.

Similarly, there was a hard rate of attrition 100, 200 years ago.

Tragically, many people refuse to co-operate with God's Grace and go to Hell.

There have always been good Catholics who had disappointing outcomes with their offspring.

If we are given the grace to seek Catholic Tradition, during a crisis, then more is expected of us. We need to do the 9 First Fridats and 5 First Saturdays of Reparation and practice loving kindness to win souls. When we fail, we need to beg for the holy assistance of the Saints to get us back onto the path of humility and holiness.

CA is what it is, a place where Truth is obscured by modernism/liberalism/heresy.

As one person plainly put it:

I'm fairly new to this site, but I find that if one has been to one internet chat board, they've pretty much been to them all. And, I've been to lots.

My sincerest hope is that people who are really seeking answers do not use this site as a source.

Much of the information that is being given out here is in error. People just say whatever they think, and it is usually wrong. There really hasn't been very much teaching going on in the Church, real formation, real hard core catechesis, for a loooonnnnggg time.

But also, I believe there is a genuine element of evil both online and in the Church. There really are people whose sole aim is to misinform, confuse, agitate, invalidate what is true. The internet is really rife with that.

The internet, including this site, attracts people who hide behind the anonymity and only seem to want to provoke. So, if you sincerely want to know about Christ and the Catholic Church, go to someplace that you can trust. Someplace that has credibility. THIS IS NOT IT.

Below is a response to the above post: Remember the modernist "Franciscan bro/aka JReducation " from other discussions, well this modernist/wolf in sheep's clothing "Franciscan bro" is one of the "favored" at CA.

Actually, my sincerest hope is that people who are seeking answers use this site. They can either go to "Ask an Apologist" or go to Catholic Answers website and read the articles there.

Also with some familiarity you will get to know the people who give good and accurate answers here. I always look to JREducation for all things Roman Catholic and Franciscan, and to Alexander Roman for all things Eastern. There are many regulars too who give great and accurate answers such as FrDavid in the Liturgy and Sacraments forum.

Being a forum, you have the same mix of people here as in the real world. When one goes foruming, one should understand that is to be the case. Unless its a highly regulated forum where only certified experts can answer, you'll always get a mix of answers no matter which forum it is, no matter what topic.

I remember JReducation. He is one of the most modernist people in the religious life I have ever seen. He never got nasty like some of the other modernists there and that's good that he kept it clean, but he didn't know the first thing about Tradition. If I remember correctly he said he wasn't even willing to fully rule out the "possibility" that Archbishop LeFebvre was not in Heaven (he was basically implying ABL was a heretic).

I was suspended yet again on CAF.

To many people here the notion of a Mass being "illicit" means next to nothing.

I have never understood how one can claim to be on the side of the Church when they knowingly and purposely attend Masses that they know are illicit. That, coupled with the fact that sspx priests are suspended of their duties and act in disobedience every time they celebrate Mass would seem (to me, at least) to be cause for concern.

But that's just me.

If you've ever attended a NO Mass where the priest said one word wrong or got one rubric wrong you've attended an "illicit" Mass. If you regularly attend a Mass where Eucharistic Ministers are used but are not absolutely needed, you are attending an "illicit" Mass.

Catholic Answers Moderator then sent me a private message stating:

You have received an infraction at Catholic Answers Forums.

Reason: Continuous violoation of rules, despite many infractions
-------
Your statement is incorrect, to begin with.

Second, it violates the forum rules that say you may not pit one form of the mass against the other.

Third, you have violated the rules too many times and you continue to do so.

Therefore, your account is suspended for one month. You cannot be on these fora and violate rules at a rate of one a month. If you want to participate on Catholic Answers, you must comply with our rules.

The previous "violations" were just as ridiculous.

I'm not sure how he could make the claim I'm pitting one form of the Mass against the other with a straight face.

I'm going to appeal. I expect nothing, but I'll at least make the case to a third party that this is nuts, even by Neo-Cath standards.
