It has come to my attention that I am being TOO lenient with regards to certain uncharitable phrases, disrespectful comments, etc.
I was trying to do the impossible. But rather than give up, I'm going to try to make it work -- I just need to be more realistic.
I have always tried to keep a sane balance -- by allowing "the other side" to have their say, for instance. I will continue to do so in the future.
However, several good members -- the kind of members I WANT to have here on Cathinfo -- have been turned off by the vitriol being posted from certain quarters. Some have left, others have said things to me, and still others visit less often because they don't like to be angered and/or frustrated by certain posts/members.
Anarchy and disorder are not Catholic. Therefore, I need to lay down a few rules:
1. I am going to censor any uncharitable and/or misleading terms, which include the following: "Roman P rotestant", "Lefebvris t", "F ellayist" and others which I will think of later. Please use descriptive, neutral, mainstream, and well-established terms: "Novus Ordo" rather than "Roman P rotestant"; "SSPX" rather than "L efebvrite", etc.
2. Discussion of Sedevacantism is allowed in the "Crisis in the Church" sub-forum only. I will be much more strict in the future about moving posts there. Posts that "go sede" I will either moderate, or move to the Crisis sub-forum depending on the circuмstances.
3. This forum has an "official position" as regards the Crisis in the Church: the SSPX position. All other points of view are being tolerated in the spirit of charity; therefore I expect them to be charitable in return. Rude guests will be censored, warned, or asked to leave at the moderator's discretion.
