I understand they do not want to commit time to answer questions on a forum, but if they sent out a weekly newsletter like the good Bishop does that would give them the opportunity to nip any rumors in the bud.

Quote from: Matthew

Quote from: Centroamerica
A very wise (*New Zealand) seminary professor told me personally last year that he does not and would not use the internet (probably even if his life depended on it).

Why not, I ask? It's not sinful.

Perhaps it's a generational/age thing.

I must objectively state that these priests are OBJECTIVELY missing the boat. They are called to be apostles (or helpers of apostles, in the case of priests) in TWENTY - FOURTEEN. They are not called to be some kind of luddite recreations of 17th Century France, however quaint/beautiful/Catholic that time period was.

The fact of the matter is that the lost sheep that need saving, as well as a healthy chunk of the Mystical Body of Christ, is online.

I can understand not wasting too much time online. But total abstinence? Total abstinence from something non-sinful is for those without discipline (think: former alcoholics abstaining from alcohol completely)

With the encouragement of Stephen Heiner, Justin Schoeder and the True Restoration group, Traditional Catholic clergy like Bishop Sanborn, Fr Cekada and others, are using social media like Twitter to promote Traditional Catholicism.

I'm annoyed that my Traditional chapel and school refuse to even use EMAIL to communicate with parents. Would go a LONG way towards smashing rumors before they even got started.

Mine charges $50 a year. So I don't bother. They have my name, address, and two phone numbers. If they want me, they can find me, otherwise, I keep to my own affairs. :dancing-banana:

But then the good Bishop in question has been doing exactly what Matthew asks - communicate with us - and for 3 weeks now he has been pushing "apparitionism" and starting more rumors than CI can hold threads (if such a thing were possible) - SIGH !
