  • Poche is the #4 all-time poster on CathInfo ... with over 15,000 posts.  Now, I'm #2 on CI, but I've been around a couple more years than poche, and so poche actually averages 5.6 posts per day wile I average 5.3.  poche has been averaging 5.6 posts per day for EIGHT YEARS, whereas I'm 5.2 per day for 10 years.  So poche is one of THE most prolific posters in the history of CathInfo.

    So, poche, since you clearly don't see eye-to-eye with any of the other forum members on theological issues, could you please explain why it is that you're so active on the forum?  I don't really care ... just want to gain some insight into your motivation.

    #1) Are you a Traditional Catholic in any sense of the word?

    #2) Are you a conservative Catholic?

    #3) What is your motivation for posting here?  Are you trying to "convert" people to your point of view?  Are you trolling?

  • In the French language forum there used to be an emoticon that was holding a sign saying "Je suis Catho!" and he had a scowl on his face like he was mad at somebody. I would hold up the sign that says "Je suis Catho!" and I would have a big smile on my face.

    Why don’t you answer the questions? Frankly, it seems you have an agenda.
    For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?

    I think he answered them.  He is saying that Catholics here have scowls on their faces.  He is here to show us that to be Catholic one should have a big smile on one's face.

    ETA:  Of course, he can always correct me if I'm wrong.  ;)

  • I don't think he answered. I'd say he's here specifically to undermine and detract from true traditionalism (In the nicest possible way of course, n'est pas?)

    I think there is something not quite right with Poche's presence here, yet he offers no defense or explanation. Just a lot of "cheese sauce" distraction like the prior post. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    So ... you're the internet equivalent of a French mime?

  • I think there's got to be a deeper motivation to posting 15,000+ times in 10 years than just to wipe scowls off the faces of a small handful of Traditional Catholics.

    I feel that if he does not answer the question, he should be written off as a troll ... that we have wasted far too much of our time on.

    I don't really care what you are, poche ... from Marxist Liberation Theologian to Pope Rigid I ... but I think you owe people an explanation of what you're doing here.

  • I am not going to try and go inside the mind of someone I don't even know.  However, I would just say this: among "conservative orthodox Novus Ordo Catholics" (or whatever term you want to use to describe them), I have observed the tendency to want to go into various entities --- online forums, parishes, schools, businesses, the media, what have you --- and be a "leaven unto them", to try and effect whatever change they can, from within.  I am not suggesting that this is "trolling", nor even that it is necessarily a bad thing, just a modus operandi --- to try and reform from within, rather than detaching themselves from such entities and creating their own.  Just to use one example, Christendom College --- a bastion of "conservative Novus Ordo-ism" if ever there were such a critter --- is very explicit about encouraging their graduates to be precisely this kind of "leaven".  Again, not saying this is a bad thing, just saying that this is a rule from their playbook.  That may be what is going on here --- not suggesting that our poster is a Christendom College alumnus, just using them as an example.

  • Perhaps.  But for poche to have persevered with 15,000+ posts over 8 years, I suspect that there's something deeper there.  So, for instance, Lover of Truth would post tirelessly against Feeneyism, and that was inspired by his "close call" in almost having become a Feeneyite.  So I surmise that poche has had some kind of dealings with Traditional Catholicism.

    There really is only one explanation: Narcissism.

    And he's enjoying every minute of the havoc he's causing.

    I suspect that he is, and that lines up with his being a troll.  Unless he explains himself, I move that he be banned as a troll who's doing nothing but wasting everyone's time.  Rest of us on this forum have better things to do than to argue against the canonization of Bergoglio being promoted by poche.

  • I believe Poche is more than one person.   One person has one style of writing.  It seems that reading Poche posts
    it looks like they are of different styles.
