Diego, why are you obsessed with fighting with people who are "suspicious" of others? By doing that, you're only going to make people think that you have something to hide.

Why? Where have you been? Why? Because your behavior is shameful: "suspicions," "moles," "trolls." Look at how you talk about and to other Catholics.

I was unjustly attacked on the basis of such imaginary suspicions: that I supposedly signed up shortly after Capistrano when I had actually signed up about a year and a half before him, have an ISP in a different state, hold and expressed different views from him, and have unequivocally stated I am not he.

Only one of you had the decency to apologize.

Matthew himself admitted the error (though he defended his hyper-vigilance) and pronounced the issue dead, yet your lynch mob just won't let go. I see your mob going after others now on the most imaginary of pretexts. The kosher thought police have nothing on you.

If you have a paranoid style, that doesn't mean I have "something to hide."

Now, I have repeatedly tried to put this behind, but your lynch mob is still on the move. if you have any decency in you, let your lynch mob dissipate with charity.

Quote from: Stephen Francis

Diego, I am afraid that you are mistaken... most professing Catholics will never see the persecutions these saints faced, because they will never possess the faith and sanctity that these saints had.

We live in an age where debating ABOUT the merits of the Rosary, the dogmas of the Church, etc are preferred to actually GAINING the merits and BELIEVING the dogmas.

I think the 'louder' (in terms of its notoriety, esp. on the Internet) the 'resistance' gets, the more ineffectual it will prove to be.

What we need are more like St. Fiacre, who built an oratory in the woods and mortified his flesh daily. We need more like St. Paul of the Cross, who went and took upon himself the life of a hermit even before he was permitted to preach or bring others into his philosophy.

Don't misunderstand me; I am NOT discounting the efforts of faithful Catholics to preserve and promote the Faith. I am just saying that it's MUCH easier to get on line and talk about these things than it is to actually DEMONSTRATE them with our lives.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph soon.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

Diego, you are so right.
The traditional Catholics today are for the most part not very penitential. We would NEVER be able to face the persecutions of the past.
God has a plan for us. Maybe it will be that the majority of us will die in the plagues and the famine to come!

OOOOOOps, sorry, I meant to agree with Steven Francis. My appologies!

Diego, I never called you a mole or a troll, nor did I accuse you of having multiple accounts. You are just putting words in my mouth.

I see a double standard coming from you. You keep telling us the issue is "dead" but when I read this thread you were talking about people who have "suspicion" getting a dose of reality. So it is you that needs to drop the issue and quit whining.
