It seems like the time for sitting back and thinking about the situation is over.
In the last 2 days, I've had to ban 2 accordistas.
And no, I haven't changed my policies lately. I'm OK with members that are critical of the Resistance.
But I do have my limits.
Anyone who reduces the Resistance to some kind of caricature -- "All you have is a 2 year old docuмent in a dust bin somewhere and a whole lotta gossip" is obviously a victim of self-delusion and is forcefully keeping himself convinced and ignorant about the issue. Such a one is clearly not seeking the truth.
Why aren't they seeking the truth? God knows. I don't know. So I can't speculate or judge. What I do know is that they CAN'T be seeking the truth when they deny what is right in front of their faces. At best, they are lazy and not looking into it; merely repeating what others have told them. But that's still not seeking the truth!
I don't have compassion or patience for such...idiots. There's no better word.
Seeking the Truth is a prerequisite for membership on CathInfo. On most other points I am actually quite flexible.
I (and many others on CathInfo) am seeking the truth -- Full-time. You don't see me denying what is right in front of my face. I fully avert to all the real faults and challenges facing the Resistance.
Sure we each have to pick a side, and we all find ourselves on one side or the other. But don't let "team spirit" from that Side BLIND you to the truth right in front of your face.
For we fallen human beings, our knowledge is never perfect or complete, and we can easily be wrong. Our intellects have been darkened by Original Sin. So you will have Catholics in material error about various things.
However, there is one thing I am sure about, and that I will insist on for membership on CathInfo. God DOES will that we be charitable and not schismatic. God also wants us to not judge thousands or millions of Catholics indiscriminately. Regardless of who turns out to be right about the Pope, the SSPX or any other issue, I can tell you right now that God expects you to not go against your own conscience, call black "white" or the blue sky "red".
I am 100% sure about this point. No matter what happens, or what surprises God has in store for us, I can be fully confident that I will never have to eat crow or apologize for insisting on this.
Some things we can be sure about, such as the attributes of God (goodness, mercy, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, etc.)
You don't hear me judging all the Catholics attending SSPX chapels, even though I'm in the "Resistance" camp. You don't hear me judging all Sedevacantists, even though I'm in the R&R camp. So I expect the same Catholic treatment.
If there's even a small chance that a person is truly Catholic, I expect them to be treated like one.
