  • What is up with this website? Lots of good information, but it looks like it was designed by a 3-year-old.

    Is bad web design sinful?

    We have no compunction in informing you that we are running on fumes. This is our mayday alert that we desperately need your help. We have received no bailout from anyone nor do we expect such, but we do expect those who visit this site to ask themselves how they can help. We ask where are the "Good Samaritans" out there? Other than a few, and we do mean "few" loyal and regular benefactors, everyone else seems to think we can operate without donations. We garner an average of two million hits a month with an average circulation of 75,000 per month with an average number of 275,000 pages read. And yet, only one tenth of one percent donate to The DailyCatholic. In the demonic despot Barack Hussein Obama's world that might work by printing up more money and taxing everyone for it, but in the real world the reality is that we dearly need everyone to pitch in and help.

    If everyone who logs on once a week sent one dollar a week there'd be no need to ask again. That amount - times the number of visitors per week for The DailyCatholic receives would not only be enough, but allow us to expand with video and audio and publish more often. It is sad, that even Traditional Catholics are apathetic and don't respond, making them not much better than the rest rooted in the laisez faire modernist philosophy that has seeped into society today where so many consider themselves entitled. They seem to think they can use things for free with little consideration toward those, who have not only spent many, many years in learning and intense study (not to mention costs), but also continue to labor long in time and research to provide Catholic truth and information that would, in a true republic or monarchy, be duly rewarded or reciprocated in trade in the manner that made the guilds so successful and so Catholic. Did Our Lord not say, "a laborer is worthy of his hire" in St. Luke 10: 7? What say you? Won't you help us in our mission for saving souls?


    Maybe if their website looked more serious people would be more likely to donate?

  • Okay, 12 then!  :laugh1:

    It's not impossible to take that website seriously, but it's hard to. Doesn't the Church have writings on aesthetics? If something is ugly and disordered looking then isn't that a sign of some spiritual deficiency in the creator?

  • It looks like the website for a party favors store in the backwoods of Kentucky.
    Readers: Please IGNORE all my postings here. I was a recent convert and fell into errors, even heresy for which hopefully my ignorance excuses. These include rejecting the "rhythm method," rejecting the idea of "implicit faith," and being brieflfy quasi-Jansenist. I also posted occasions of sins and links to occasions of sin, not understanding the concept much at the time, so do not follow my links.
