Rick I hate to tell you, but the boards haven't changed much , in fact I would say if anything people are politer than they used to be.
Have you forgotten the back alley?

Well, yes, I am disagreeing with you. Disagreement and argument can be very healthy! Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so man sharpens his fellow man." St. Josemaria once wrote, "Peace is something closely related to war. Peace is a consequence of victory. Peace demands of me a continual struggle. Without a struggle I will never have peace." Conflict can be enlightening sometimes.

St. Paul, in his epistles, urged Christian believers to be united. And as Catholics, we have a special form of unity--in our liturgy, in the Eucharist, and in our faith. The Church has been blessed with the gift of the Papacy...as the Pope is the symbol of our unity of faith. The magesterium (the teaching authority of the Church), along with the scriptures to help us to know what is true. However, not everyone believes the Truth, and there are people out there calling themselves Christians who are in error. When I am right, why should I agree with someone who is in error? And when I am wrong, would I want to remain in ignorance forever? Of course not. Sometimes, when a man 'sharpens' another man, it can hurt, but it is better to be sharp than to be dull.

I think much of the changes come because the site expanded with more members. Bigger sites bring in a more diverse group of people (and the disagreements that come with that). Maybe that's why it might seem like it's not the same smaller tight knit group it was before. I think despite the growth, the site still has tight knit groups and its original flavor, however.

I liked the Old School phatmass, but I like phatmass living large, too. It's a strong force for the Church.

Who could forget the back alley?

[homeschoolmom]

Not me...

[Carrie]

As much disagreement went on back there, I miss it.

[homeschoolmom]

yeah...

[Proud2BCatholic139]

Why can't we have a difference of opinion?

[Proud2BCatholic139]

And the word "hate" shouldn't be used.
