In response to Fr Hewko’s letter Matthew said-
“One must keep in mind the role of a Traditional Catholic forum: to discuss things people want to discuss, within the bounds of Catholic morality. For example, nothing knowingly untrue is allowed to stand. New members signing up and posting garbage, filth, violence, heresy, spam, are quickly dealt with. Everything that remains is legitimate information, thoughts, questions, and observations from Traditional Catholics”
I believe this is true. And I think most here would agree also.
So I have to ask, why then has this been lost on Fr. Hewko and Fr. Pfeiffer, and OLMC people for years now?
They say to avoid CI like the plague.
The Frs. have had sermons about it. Laity that approach with questions and concerns about things they’ve read here get a firm rebuke for visiting and then told to abstain from not only CI, but from the Internet entirely!
Why? Because not everyone there agrees with every single opinion of yours on the how to deal with the CRISIS in the Church?
What else are we Traditional Catholics to do when our tiny little trad lives are so already so small and limited as it is? Many of us here, if not most, have no Catholic family members, let alone Traditional ones, to even turn to during this Crisis!
I’m sorry Fr Hewko, but you’ve got some kind of serious tunnel vision!
Btw, I’m wondering of course about this letter just now coming out recently because there was a need for Fr Hewko to defend Pablo from the ‘warlock thread’ without having to actually come and defend Pablo here on CI in person?
