You have some strange taste. CM (which stands for Catholic Martyr, BTW) thought he was one of a handful of true Catholics left on earth -- the only other family he knew of was fkpagnanelli who JUST SO HAPPENED to have a young, single daughter he wanted to give to CM, since they were both on the same page on religion. It was just those two versus the whole world though!

And you want to talk to Puritans who are basically heretics, dogmatic sedevacantists who say you are going to hell unless you believe a new dogma ("the See is vacant")? I guess there is no arguing with taste...

Most people would complain if I *let* such types stay on CathInfo. I guess this is another case of "you can't please everyone".

Everyone left to post there, eh? In terms of traffic, they maxed out at 1/3 of CathInfo's traffic, at least in terms of how many registered members checked in within a 24-hour period. But none of the successors to the original ABL forum got even 1/20th of that popularity or traffic.

I did think it was funny, though, that the original ABL forum had 3 moderators, and at least 2 of them were sedevacantist. I guess I didn't know +ABL was a sedevacantist...hahaha (note: I'm joking. +ABL was not sedevacantist. That's my point: The forum was ironically named.)

Hey, I've developed a certain skill at moderating over the years. I wasn't the same moderator at 30 or 32 (with a few years experience) that I am today, with 12 years experience under my belt. If Classiccom joined today, he'd be gone as soon as I saw he didn't believe in Vatican I (yes, that's a ONE). Maybe I was a bit slow to ban people in the beginning, but I was new. I'll admit it.

Ggreg's the nutter. He's a Steve Sailer'esque type. They're a dime a dozen, if you have any familiarity with the kosher TakiMag/Unz crowd, bombarding you with minutiae and side-tracking tactics. He wrote an idiotic article for DailyCatholic on the one-year anniversary of 9/11 trying to manipulate trads into going into the Middle East for the Jєωs. It says all you need to know about SD that he's the most popular member over there.

This forum has gone downhill a bit in terms of quality of participants, but it's still the best trad Catholic forum I've come across. And it's been the best since it was started by Matthew after he'd been banned (or left, I forget which) by VoxClamantis. i had high hopes for the first ABLF forum, but it got really weird over there with DawnMarie and her gang.

There's been a drain of interesting members here. You used to have people like like Telesphorus, claudel, Raoul (as nutty as he was at times), columba, spouseofjesus, gladius veritatis, PilgrimageofGrace (who mainly posted on IgnisArdens), ServusSpiritus (who I haven't heard about since he abandoned the first ABLF forum), belloc, stevusmagnus, caminus, btnyc, graham, sedetrad, perejoseph, Charlemagne, Iuvenalis, partyisover221, Ethelred,  Mark79, JohnGrey, and many other quality members who weren't as prolific.

There must be some change in the zeitgeist to account for the bulk of these people no longer being here. I've read Graham on SuscipeDomine say that he's put off by the proliferation of flat-earthers.

PonDeReplay was Gilgamesh over on Fisheaters. He's always been interesting to read, but he's a bit of an actor like VetusOrdo. I never thought he was a believer.

Incredulous

Yes. Like I said, I no longer respect or trust Father Pfeiffer. But I counter, just because Father Pfeiffer says something, it doesn't make it a lie. Since I have not offered my problems with Bishop Williamson you do not know if they are valid objections or ones based on lies. Bishop Williamson has made thousands of statements and has been a Bishop for thirty years, I am sure even you object to some of his deeds and some of his opinions as I do.
