Marcelino,
Perhaps you do see some rudeness here. I'm merely saying that compared to the other forums where, in the past, I participated this place is like a library. The level of politeness here is very high. You say you see rudeness but I see it as very minimal. I'm not referring to trolls who Matthew bans, but to regular participants.
Of course, on matters of spirituality, the sensitivity factor is much higher. Some who attend indults are put off by the hard striving for veracity and conclusion found in the traditionalists, particularly the sedevacantist viewpoint. I say the indults should address these issues straight on and draw their own conclusions (guided by prayer, I hope!) and not be so overly touchy about the more profound issues discussed here.
It goes the other way, too. Sedevacantists and traditionalists should be patient with those who attend indults or even newby novus ordites who are starting to wonder why they feel, in their heart of hearts, that something is dreadfully wrong with the vernacular mass with the eucharistic ministers in mini skirts. It's hard to hear that not only is the lack of modesty a problem but the high likelihood that the priest is not even a valid priest - this troubles newbies.
Maybe there is rudeness but because I'm making the comparison between a vulgar secular forum and this place that the comparison is not an accurate one.
Can you highlist a particular case of rudeness for me?
That seemed like a thoughtful post. However, that hasn't been my experience. Lots of forums I've been to are as polite as this one. As far as I can tell, the big difference between this forum and others is the content that folks are allowed to discuss. Of course, I think there is a general problem of incivility in the culture. It's like "zombieland," there's no place that isn't "infected." Have you ever heard Tele tell his story of "church abuse?" That's a famous one, but there's lots of stories like that around here and at Trad Chapels. Maybe you just aren't paying attention.
I didn't find Tele's church abuse story as rudeness, just his telling of a story.
Since you think I'm paying attention, express yourself. What do you consider rude?
