    I have Asperger's, which is a form of high-functioning autism. I won't speak for Jayne, but Aspies (and auties in general) are honest to the point of outright bluntness, if nothing else.


    I also have Aspergers, and this is very true.  I prefer directness and often I am considered to be quite blunt.  
    The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.  But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flieth, and the wolf catcheth, and scattereth the sheep.  A

  • My friend's husband as Aspergers. They are like night and day conversation wise..she is ALWAYS the center of attention and you will crack a rib laughing if around her for 30 seconds. Not Catholic but a very kind homeschool family. They know I'm single and took us out to dinner for Valentine's Day. <3

    Directness is a good thing SOS.

    Sometimes it gets me into trouble. However, you will ALWAYS know where you stand with me. :laugh1:
    "This principle is most certain: The non-Christian cannot in any way be Pope. The reason for this is that he cannot be head of what he is not a member. Now, he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others. Therefore, the manifest heretic cannot be Pope." -- St. Robert Bellarmine

  • I have a family with Asperger's and when he was 4 yrs old the "experts" said he would be a garbage man or a serial killer when he grew up.  

    No, he became a traditional Catholic!!!!!! :applause: :applause: :applause:

  • SD's mods just announced today that they will have their own "radio show".

    They had been talking for several days of a big announcement, though I wouldn't have expected anything like that. Not good that this liberal forum is getting its own radio show.
    Please ignore ALL of my posts. I was naive during my time posting on this forum and didn’t know any better. I retract and deeply regret any and all uncharitable or erroneous statements I ever made here.

  • Is that so?

    It is not a new idea.  Before I fell out of favor with them, we talked about it over there a few months ago.

    I don't think that the idea of traditional Catholic radio by laymen really works as such.  You need guests.  What Mr Heiner does works because he has guests (there are other reasons too, but this is the main one IMO).

    I was thinking to myself 'what kind of guests could they get?' and it occurred to me that Bishop Fellay would probably love to talk to them.  They could discuss prudence and kindness and the dangers of polemics!
    "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).

  • Will you have a five second delay so that you can go *beeep* anytime someone says neo-sspx?

    So should I take from this that you find prudence to be bad and polemics to be good?

    No, just pointing out that your audience and content is going to be fairly predetermined considering that you won't touch what is the most significant series of news events in the traditional Catholic world (the betrayal of the neo-sspx).
