I am so confused.  I feel like of lot of bait and switch is going on.

I have determined that you are sanctimonious asshole. Take a hike, meat.

It is time to ask Matthew about this "New User."

Also… while I generally object to the whole thumb system (What Catholic measures truth by "votes"?), it may be one of the earliest markers for trolls.

I will open a thread on a suggestion that, since Matthew recently looked at his thumb system, a new "early warning" feature be added—perhaps program an auto-delete feature for new accounts. If a New User accuмulates more down thumbs within the first 20 thumbs, the account is auto-deleted along with all the associated posts and threads started by that New User.

Already starting off on the wrong foot, how fun.

While Johannes' sense of humour is possibly not to everyone's taste, his opinions seem usual enough for CI. I would expect the vast majority to agree with his OP if they read it to the end. 

Personally I think he is funny.

Did people just comment based on the title?  What he actually wrote was inline with most of us here. 

Yes his humor is interesting.

I concur - ban this bad-willed turd. He is upsetting the whole knitting club ecosystem! Thumbs up brother!

I haven't been posting much at all for a while now, but it's interesting to see you like such a derogatory comment toward myself after I had been nothing but good willed toward you... so I'm guessing your seeming sincerity toward me was fake.

Furthermore, insults are not arguments.

Those like Minnesota and others take France as their model and if it were up to them Roe v Wade would still be law among so much more... so I don't really care what they have to say because they are clueless and like I've said before, Vatican II was 59 years ago, if they had it all figured out they would have straightened it out already.

The one guy who actually overturns Roe v Wade after 50 years and instead of being happy and trying to build on such success, all they could do was try to condemn and sabotage.

Like the movie Shawshank Redemption, some of these people in the 'resistance' have been there for so long they have become institutionalized, thus they will always look for how it can't or won't work, no Pope will ever be good enough and they will always be resisting and dividing becoming the remnant of the remnant of the remnant until the non existent.

For all the talk of the Conciliar Church, there is a strange lack of talk about St Pope Celestine V being usurped by Boniface VIII and the Avignon Papacy etc IMO.

I don't reject Bergoglio because of what he has said and done, these tell me something is wrong, rather because they usurped Pope Benedict XVI and thus the seat was not vacant for him to take in the first place.
