I don't mind arguing with a Novus Ordo person, a Muslim, a pagan, or whoever, if there is actually some back-and-forth in the debate. This character, however, would never concede a point even if he had already been shown he was wrong several times. He would continue to say stuff like " You still haven't shown me any proof of modernist thinking at Vat2" when other posters had long ago shown him the irrefutable evidence.

Also, he wanted to twist and contort the writings of great Saints and Doctors to mean other than what they intended, and would not give in even when he was shown that those same Saints and Doctors had on other occasions spoken quite clearly on those same matters.

In other words, he was a troll. He reminds me of some tedious jackasses over on Catholic Answers Forum who keep insisting that absolutely nothing has changed in the Church in the last fifty years.  :roll-laugh1:

More evidence that he was just a garden-variety troll.

On Catholic Answers, he probably talked up Tradition to tick everybody off.

I was going to tell him to simmer down and pick one topic to discuss methodically.  But he was too erratic and seemed to be virtually schizophrenic.  He dabbled in just enough theology and the fathers to be dangerous to himself, there was absolutely no formation in his intellect or coherence in his reasoning.  But he was certainly tenacious and prolific, almost as if he were standing by 24/7 with a ready reply, albeit one sentence non sequiturs or some other fallacy.  Very strange.  I do not think one should be banned for being an errant Catholic though, as we are firm and confident in our position; any novus ordo Catholic should be welcomed here in order to engage in serious discussion.  Constantly arguing with other trads gets rather old.      

Thanks Matthew.

aquinasG went straight to FE and started a thread titled "website"

His 3 posts so far on that thread

"Any of you guy ever been on this forum?: http://www.cathinfo.com/"

"Well there are some intelligent people on there, but there are a ton of errors posted on that forum. I wanted to have rational discussions about those issues but they started calling me names, totally misrepresenting what I was saying, and even called me a Protestant just for asking questions about the Mass. I tried to be sensitive to their sensibilities, because I was raised very traditional and I like the Latin Mass, communion on the tongue, old songs, ect. But I tried to defend those who prefer other spiritual elements and these people took so badl that they worked it out that I can't post of their anymore. Charity is primary virtue, so why does it appear to be lacking among "traditionalists" when people try to discuss their beliefs? Is it because they are a minority? Ironically, there aggresiveness s similar to that of African Americans before Obama's election."

"Although i seems a more quiet over here, they don't have inappropriate features like the other forum, where you can vote on whether you like somebody, or want to ignore somebody. Its just not charitable.

But I enjoy a good, kind debate. Do they ever get going on here ?"

Looks like troll posting to me. He also has a thread going on sedes.

And actually, both threads are against FE rules  

Thanks for the surveillance/recon work , Charles.

 :wink:

Well he had to go somewhere to eat
 :ready-to-eat:

Amazing how often charity is improperly defined as playing nice and condoning error
