Yes the OLOS thread is gone

  • I don't think it was beneficial to the Traditional Catholic community. That's all I'm going to say about it. Let's just say it was too light on substance and too high on controversy to be worth the trouble -- or the risk.

    Whistleblowing is one thing. But to blow the whistle, you have to offer testimony of hard facts that are important to the public good.

    P.S. I gave the thread 3 days to "give it a chance". I always try to be fair, get the Truth out there, and generally serve the cause of Good, especially the public good of the Traditional Catholic world. But all that glitters isn't gold. Not every apparent "expose" is good, holy, or worth spreading.
    Want to say "thank you"?

    Where flapping, circle singing, and the Johnnies are concerned...

  • Good move Matthew
    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    Yes ,yes but you have to at some point ask yourself Why always OLOS in PHX. ? why is that congregation fighting so much ? why so many scandals ? why did the school split in two ? why has the church not grown even though they have many visitors ? why after so many years the church remains unfinished ? why does every social group end up folding or remaining stagnate ?

    I refer you to Matthew 7:17&18 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.18:A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.


    That church was built on lies ,its foundation is taited . Amends must be made
