Today I just knew that I was banned from the supposedly Traditional Catholic forum Fish Eaters for having called the pope modernist.
In fact I already had taken the decision to leave them, given that it is already becoming a cesspool of Ecclesia Dei Catholics and not a real Tradiitonalist forum anymore, unless you redefine the word. So the expulsion was just an anticipation of something that would have happened sooner or later.
According to their rules, that kind of censorship means to preserve the due respect for the Throne of Peter and the office of the Pope, but instead it is showing an overt papolatry that is quite similar to the one noticed in Conservative and Charismatic Catholic circles.
Why is it a lack of respect to state that things done and said by this or that pope are contrary to what was always done and said by saints and popes in 2.000 years of Church history?
And if those things said and done are according to a certain way of thinking that is heretic, should you keep silence and not warn the sheep anout the wolf disguised as sheep?
You are not supposed to respect someone for his errors and crimes, but instead for all that is done and said according to God's will. That censorship mixes the dignity due to the office with the dignity (or the lack thereof) due to the actions of individuals. A pope according to this way of thinking is beyond criticism. You can never state the obvious about his actions and writings because you are censored beforehand due to his office as pope. That is why the revolution could so well advance in the Catholic world without much initial resistance: few people could believe a pope could be a heretic and hate the Church and try to destroy Her.
We are smaller here, but more selected.

The problem isn't just limited to Fisheaters. Criticism of Rome (or even of Bishop Fellay) is frowned upon in several other forums which call themselves traditional. Often the claim is made that people are banned not for their criticism but for the way they express it; that is, uncharitably. For some peculiar reason, however, lack of charity by the opposing camp seems to go unnoticed by their moderators.

CathInfo is simply the best Trad Forum on the internet.  IA was great fun until last summer.  

I received a temporary ban (7 days) for 'calling the pope a heretic.'  A day or so after that I received a permanent ban for 'promoting sedevacantism.'  It even says that under my username.  My posts had significantly slowed down on that sight over the last six months, and any time I did, my opinion seemed to be contrary to 90% of the other users, and seemed to be walking on eggshells.  Sounds like you and me were in the same boat.

The forum is thoroughly ED neo-trad, with a healthy dose of neocat.  It's a place where you believe in imaginary traditional popes and piss and moan about the novus ordo that you attend every week.  Very pro-deal as well.

Thankfully, there are greener pastures.

I also suspect several 'users' on that site to be shills.

Wow, that's really a shame. It's amazing that long-time posters such as yourself are banned just for calling a spade a spade regarding Francis.

The neo-con fraternity are having their own crisis at the moment and some do not want to see what is happening in front of their eyes. This state of denial will see them lashing out at those daring to remind them of reality. Hopefully the penny will eventually drop for some, though conservatives do learn to live with the status quo instead of opposing it.  

Looks like she's asking for money again (thanks to TMW for the pics):

I am happy that anybody who took his username from the glorious Battle of Montgisard has joined here.  Welcome !  Pax Christi.

I offer, without substantive comment, the Web-address, and an opening extract from, the FE apologia "Bans and Purges":

For the past few months (at least!), I've made post after post lamenting the presence of "trads" who are overly negative, joyless, pharisaic, overly-rigorist, and who tend to show great disrespect for the Holy Father, for fellow non-traditionalist Catholics (misled as many of them are), a disgusting attitude toward folks who suffer from ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ inclinations, and what amounts to true anti-semitism (as opposed to knowing what the post-Temple Jєωιѕн religion is and speaking about it with prudence, knowing about the power of AIPAC, et. al., and its negative influence on American foreign policy, having a clue about the history of usury and how it's led to disproportionate Jєωιѕн representation in places of power, etc.) and the inability to speak of the painful Truths of Jєωιѕн-Catholic relations with prudence. Oh, and then there's the snarkiness -- the all too prevalent sarcastic comments no matter what the thread, the turning of every other thread into a killjoy, Pope-bashing free-for-all. I mean, seriously.

If I parsed her text correctly, those are only the first 2 sentences of it (emphasis therein is hers).  My posting of a URL and an extract should not be interpreted as an endorsement.
