Thanks for the info. Is there a place to go to see the rules of the forum? I would rather keep in good stead and the best way is to know the rules.

At AQ, if you even hinted that you believe that the VatII church might not be fully Catholic they would jump all over you and scream about being "bleep" and other such nonsense. So childish. I am a serious seeker of knowledge and understanding and as such I try to not cut off any possibility before exploration. And I am getting more and more worried about the Church...

thanks again

Here is the rules thread I posted a while ago:

http://www.cathinfo.com/index.php?a=topic&t=3431#p0

Since then, I thought of a better way to put it, though:

"In necessary things, unity. In doubtful things, liberty. In all things, Charity."

And to clarify: anything related to the current UNPRECEDENTED crisis in the Church is considered DOUBTFUL by this forum. That goes for everyone, no matter how "clear" it seems to you that this or that position is "the only way".

Therefore you can't call someone a heretic just because they chose this or that nuanced position regarding the Crisis.

We simply must give people the benefit of the doubt when talking about the Crisis.

Anyhow, the only things that are going to be censored on Cathinfo are: blasphemy, filthy language, and grossly uncharitable comments. Stuff that "cries out" for censorship, as it were. Anything else I like to keep the forum free and open, even if that means a heated discussion or two (or three).

No one likes to compose a post for 20 or 30 minutes only to have it deleted by a mod on a power trip.

Yeah, I'm in a similar situation, Martyer. I have to drive 40 miles to church, go figure. I go to a very secular High school and the only Traditional Roman Catholic there that I know may as well be a pagan. I will also be going to a very secular college this fall, so I'll need all the prayers I can get so I don't lose my faith or my mind. Pushups, ay? How many can you do? Oh by the way, where is the rules section? I think I had one of my posts deleted because I wasn't following the rules, I think.
I am inexperienced, but I"m also arrogant, something that is very difficult to break at the age of 18. I love to learn new things. Your article on a healthy diet, Catholic Martyer, was very interesting.

Oh yes, I also like to wish ill thoughts on the Federal Reserve System here in the USA :)
Glad to be here.

Yes indeed, thank you for being here. In regards to faith and morals I do my best to humble myself since I don't know everything; anyone who doesn't know everything does not need to feel proud. I certainly hope I'm not a heretic. I do believe though, that since we cannot possibly know everything, or if we're even right, we must have good intentions and ask God for the grace to know what is right so that we may best please Him. Perhaps there are a few protestants out there that may hold to this and are searching for the true faith, though I do notice that most of them believe that they know everything : /

I am finishing my freshman year in a public high school - was just introduced via http://traditionalcatholic.net to Catholic Tradition a few months ago - the rest is history.
