I try to read Novus Ordo Watch sometimes but I don't like it. I don't know exactly why because I like reading Traditio and they are similar to Novus Ordo Watch. When Novus Ordo Watch makes jokes I get upset, but when Traditio makes similar jokes I laugh. I disagree with the positions of both Traditio and Novus Ordo Watch but one I like and one I don't like.
That posting by Matto was the 7th posting on this thread, I made a posting right after Matto's posting that got an immediate thumbs up withing one minute. I then posted a short one right after. I looked in later in the day and found my first posting gone, and my second posting had two thumbs down, I assume because it was misunderstood by the sedes, so I clarified it. Regarding the posting that disappeared I really don't know how it happened since it was an inoffensive posting and I think a profound posting. I don't know how it happened, so
I'll repeat it again as I remember it:
Up to Mattos posting (#7) all the postings appear to be full of bitterness and detraction. This is a fault which we have to battle, and I have found that the best way not to fall into the mortal sin of detraction is to convince yourself that you are talking with someone that you like and admire and who thinks like you. This is very hard to do, so it is better not to say anything about the person till you are in the right spirit. As an example, I could never detract against any person who believes that dogma is the final word on a subject, like Stubborn, Ladislaus, An Even Seven, the Dimond's etc. If I were ever to criticize something they said it would be ONLY to help them improve themselves. With this attitude there is never any bitterness and thus there will never be any detraction.
God Bless
