Much of the material on Catholic Candle (the "baby") is excellent while some of the "bath water" poses a real and legitimate problem to some TradCats. What else is new?!
But 90% of this lemonade was PERFECTLY GOOD! If we could just ignore that 10% arsenic we'd have such a REFRESHING BEVERAGE! ...
Sorry, but the whole cup must be dumped out. Just like Vatican II!
Vatican II defined no new dogmas, and only did damage to the Catholic world.
You COULD say that CathInfo has a few not so great posts or members -- but first of all I catch most of that with moderation. But even if a few bad posts get through, it's DIFFERENT in the case of CathInfo, because we offer something here you can't get anywhere else (communication with serious Trad Catholics all around the world, #1 source of Trad news, etc.) so it's WORTH having to sift -- having to ignore a few idiots. I did ban Poche BTW, so this argument holds less weight now
Plus any group of human beings is expected to have some flaws, due to original sin. That's fundamental to any real-time communications medium involving human beings with Original Sin. So CathInfo -- being a forum not a blog or news website -- has a darn good excuse. It's impossible to pre-emptively remove all bad members or posts.
A blog or article website with an editorial policy is a completely different matter. If the Editor/Owner is a home aloner, schismatic, heretic, etc. it's going to ruin the whole site. Posting a few articles on the Rosary is NOT going to redeem such a site! Pope John Paul II promoted the Rosary too. He even made up 5 new mysteries! Are you going to promote him too?
But CathInfo is 99% good whereas sites like MHFM are more like 3% and Catholic (S)candle is probably around 10%.
