  • You’ve been to a Mass where people were smoking cigarettes and marijuana? 
    Yes.  I’m so glad someone removed the ashtray out from the doorway of the church.  That’s bad that they even needed an ashtray.  

      And thanks to whoever removed Bergolio’s picture from the church. 

    I guess they got to get high to appreciate a low Mass. 
     




    May God bless you and keep you

  • How old are you?  Why all of a sudden there are now televisions in chapels when there wasn’t?  Going along with the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr church.  We all see the gradual changes to SSPX and many that go to independents chapels are living a double life too.

    These aren’t regular tvs.  These are “smart” tvs.  Big brother is watching.
    Prayers for you Viva. You sound a little paranoid. God wants you at peace. If your peace is disturbed say some Our Father's and Hail Marys to regain your peace. :pray::pray::pray:

  • Padre Pio discourage Catholics from even purchasing a television.
    Right, because the only use at the time was...watching movies, news, etc.

    That’s correct tv anywhere in church is a new and modernist.

      Ironic. 


    Quote
    Most tvs are used to spy and collect data. 
    You say as you use the internet. Imagine what Padre Pio would say about the internet if he were alive today. How many more souls have been lost due to the internet and the much more readily available filth on it than televisions. I don't expect you to understand the contradiction 

    The tv has access to other channels. Who is paying for the tv and service.  It’s a waste of money. 
    Again, the TV is only being used to stream the mass. Again, you have to pay separately for streaming services. Those are generally not included when you purchase a TV. I would assume the TV is paid using chapel funds. It's not a waste of money if it benefits those in an overflow room

    Quote
    Tv is part of the problem why there are not many valid licit masses available.  duh.  How blind are you people to see that owning a tv has caused many problems in our society.  Padre Pio advised Catholics to dress modestly and don’t own a tv.  Third order St Pius X also said not to own tv and dress modestly.

    We can see that traditional Catholicism is sliding back into modernism. 

    This all how the Catholic Church ended up in apostasy.

    A TV being used in an overflow room to stream a mass does not result in apostasy

    Because the technology was not readily available before, and because chapels are growing.

    Big brother is watching mass? Maybe it will lead to a conversion or two :laugh2:

  • Was Padre Pio paranoid?  He was right.  He was right about bad fashion too.

  • Better management of priests scheduling.  Put the priest where they can help with overflow.

    The internet holds more atrocities than a television, yet here you participating on an online forum.

  • Nadir was the last woman worth allowing on the Internet. Can probably let Seraphina keep her Internet card too. After that, it's past time for women to get off the Internet. What a dumb thread.

    ETA: The admin's wife is OK, too
    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    :facepalm: I’ve never heard of such a thing!  Not even in the novus ordo!  I don’t doubt you, but at least someone had the sense to rectify the situation.  As for the picture, I went to a chapel (SSPX), where the pictures of Benedict and another small photo of Bp., then Fr. Williamson kept being found stashed in various places like janitor’s closet, back or on top of kitchen cabinets, etc. There was a place in back of the parking lot where a group of older women, then in their 60’s and 70’s, hung out and smoked cigarettes after Mass. They’d stamp out their butts on the ground. The volunteer custodian grudgingly swept it up. Marijuana, no! Fr. wouldn’t have allowed smoking and an ash tray in front of the door!  Catholics are allowed to smoke tobacco, but it seems to me in the doorway is NOT the place!

    Thanks? I read some threads on CI and comment. I don’t do social media of any type like Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, or whatever. It’s a bunch of gossip, self-promotion, bullying, plus if you value your privacy, it’s no good. I live-stream Masses, look at crafts, sewing, cooking, nature, sermons, conferences, the weather forecast, briefly scan the “news.” I use email to correspond with a very few people, and to get basic information, such as, what time does Farm and Home Supply close tonight?  Oh, and I’ve purchased items like books, a Rosary, an office chair for my nephew’s birthday, etc. That’s the extent of it. In fact, it’s time to sign off because the store closes at 7:00 and I need to make another stop en route. 
    Add AMDG to your list. She’s into sewing and on the women only thread. I probably missed a few people. There are men who shouldn’t be online, either!

  • There's a difference between "television" and "tv screen."

    Television is the movies, news, various shows, etc that are shown through a tv screen. You have to pay for these via cable or some streaming service. This is what Padre Pio (and many others) say is bad.

    A TV screen is just a screen - it's no different than a computer monitor. It's up to the owner to determine whether to pay for service or not.

    The TVs found in an SSPX chapel are most likely just connected to a computer - meaning that it would be impossible to just "change the channel" and have them suddenly be playing the evening news.

    You've never heard of such a thing because it simply doesn't happen. VCR's obsession with Traditional Catholics "smoking pot outside of mass" stems from this thread, and coincides with her compulsion of bringing up sodomy whenever marijuana is mentioned:


    https://www.cathinfo.com/members-only/people-smoked-weed-before-mass/

    She never saw anyone smoke pot, and never saw the supposed pot smokers engaging in sodomy..yet labels them as pothead sodomites and says they should not be allowed to attend mass.

    Pretty easy to tell which posts are hers if you have read her comments before. Interesting to note how much more vitriol she displays when posting anonymously!

    No. It’s about smart tv physically being present in a church.  I’m here on the internet but I’m not in church.   I don’t take my cell phone to church. 

    I’m not in a church so I’m not a hypocrite.
