status question

[N/A Gone]

Some people, ironically the ones i seem to argue against, have the term..

"hello I do not rep the church" in red print..

whats with that?

[Aloysius]

they are either in the group "non-Catholics" or "phishy"

a non-Catholic is a non-Catholic, very simple

a phishy is someone who claims to be Catholic but has exhibitted some heterodox or schismatic views

[N/A Gone]

ahh...so, the question is do I become a militant or a phishy first?

coin flip? anyone

[Aloysius]

dUSt, and dUSt alone, has the power to decide to assign you to a group. it takes a while, you have to establish yourself and then one day if you're really good someone who is already a Church Faithful or Church Militant will nominate you and dUSt will put you in the group.

All the cool people become phishies! "Popestpiusx" became "King of the Sea" but is now living in exile.

I'm too much of a landlubber to be Phishy myself.
I'm too militant to be "Church Militant" and I'm too orthodox to be "Church Faithful."

Therefore, I'm - nothing!

Just don't offend nobody, never rock the boat, and you'll get far in Phatmass.

You forgot the long period where dUSt ignores everyone, between the nomination and him putting someone in a group.

I'm really not bitter or anything. Not at all!

[Aloysius]

I think Socrates is just feeling left in the dust cause he never got a group status, he was really just overlooked probably

Ironmonk, quite a boat rocker, had Church Militant status.

just exhibit orthodoxy and you can get to be Church Faithful eventually, exhibit defense of that orthodoxy and you'll eventually become Church Militant.

[Aloysius]

lol yeah, dUSt is a busy guy, he will ignore you. and that's just too darn bad actually

[Guest T-Bone]

<---is sometimes glad he flies under the radar, as he tends to be a hot-head...

[Didacus]

Please don't burn me!!!!

[PadreSantiago]

i think there should be a new group called the phatmass PIRATES ARRRG these would be non-catholics that are really sarcastic and like booty. I think I'd be a perfect inductee...

And, if you fall under all of those categories and have a degree in theology, then they make you a Church Scholar

Believe it or not, phatmass consisted of a small group of people that grew into what you see today. Kind of like the Apostles.....a small close-knit group that gained the attention of others...only to become well-recognized and known

When it was small, it was easier to manage. Actually, I seem to recall, way back when, the reason for the titles was due to the influx of people, and the inability to tell who was who and where each person stood.

Dust created the titles to prevent this from happening, especially when that influx consisted of very militant non-Catholics who pretended to be faithful Catholics.

God Bless

I disagree.


I think there is an admitted distinction between offending some formally and materially on this board.

[Extra ecclesiam nulla salus]

I used to be a ultra-traditionalist Catholic, now i am a faithful orthodox catholic. it just takes a while for the phishy status to be lifted.

[dUSt]

I see all of you.
