Wow, St. Michael The Archangel Prayer "spam."

[Freedom]

Are you sure you belong to this site? This is the Catholic church site for crying out! Why would you call a prayer, spam? Maybe an atheist site suits you better.

[Lil Red]

no, it's not. it's the fact that you posted it in every single phorum.

[Freedom]

I didn't know posting it everywhere is spam. What is your definition of spam?

[Lil Red]

and if you'll notice, i left the open mic thread open as well as the vocation thread open. i only closed/moved the threads that were placed in phorums where there was no clear point (such as Q&A phorum) to that thread being there.

[Lil Red]

and it was obvious that your intent wasn't dialogue in posting it in every single phorum.

Posting a prayer everywhere is against the rules?

[Aloysius]

there is a time and a place for everything.

it was actually disrespectful the way you used the St. Michael prayer like spam, not that you were called out for it. disrespectful to St. Michael, and disrespectful to the prayer. We ought to be reverent of such things, and throwing them around the way you did is a highly irreverent use of a solemn and sacred prayer for deliverance from evil.

[Freedom]

Now you're calling a prayer to St. Michael disrespectful? This doesn't make any sense, sorry.

Now who among youz will pop up and attack me? Who's turn is it?

sigh. no one is attacking you. i don't understand this. every time someone disagrees with you, you say that they are attacking you. if i honestly thought anyone had attacked you per the guidelines, i would have edited & warned the person responsible.

exactly.

That use of St. Michael's prayer seems extremely irreverent to me. Prayers are not clubs to be used against fellow Catholics.

[Jesus_lol]

I dont mind attacking?

Posting serious prayers with no other context in the Lame board or other discussion boards would be about as appropriate as discussing the newest episode of the Walking Dead in a prayer thread someone posted for a dying relative.

Everything has its place, and just because something is good doesnt mean it fits everywhere.

the prayer itself isn't disrespectful. it was your use of the prayer that was disrespectful. just like the words the pharisees used were not disrespectful, but the fact that they stood on the street corners to boast that it was they that was saying them WAS disrespectful.

[Freedom]

How can it not be a time and place for this prayer if this is supposed to be a Catholic site? Just change the name if you don't want prayers here and the only thing I want to add is, I didn't know that posting it everywhere is considered a spam. So I won't do it anymore. Other than, if calling me disrespectful is not an attack, what is?

[Nihil Obstat]

This is getting pretty old. You make the same replies no matter what anyone says. I am sure you are smarter than this, but you are insulting your own intelligence and ours by behaving like this.

[Freedom]

Now calling me a pharisee is not an attack? You just don't make sense and I won't respond to that.

[MIKolbe]

Freedom...

Gimme a hug bro...

It's gonna be ok, Tater...

This isn't only a Catholic site.

You are posting on a forum for Catholics and non-Catholics to discuss a wide range of topics. You wanna pray, go into the prayer thread. People will follow you over there and you can do a whole bunch of praying. But randomly interjecting this prayer into random discussion threads is spammy trollism. Don't know what that is? Google it.

[Freedom]

Here comes Mr. Condescendence. Mocking and belittling, this is your style of a defending your know it all self.

[Aloysius]

the way you posted it did not come across in any way, shape, or form as a sincere prayer. if it was meant as such, it was certainly taken another way. if you were sincerely praying that prayer in every instance when you posted (and not just copy/pasting to make some kind of point, which is what it came across as), and you were not doing so in some haughty way, then I will apologize, but you did come across that way.

There is a time and a place for everything. The time and place you chose to place your copy/pastes of the prayer of St. Michael indicated a misuse of the prayer that did not show proper reverence for sacred things, and that was reflected in the response that was given to you. If you intended it as a sincere invitation for us to all pray that beautiful prayer, I suggest that in the future you place it in a better context.
