Veritas Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 + What happened to Eutychus and Budgie? Thoughts? (By the way, this is purely for fun chiding speculation. Nothing mean!)
Laudate_Dominum Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 they're probably lurking as guests right now.. maybe they'll be back with new material soon?
dUSt Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I believe they have been briefly suspended for breaking phorum guidelines. I do hope they come back.
Era Might Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Ah, the debate table is so refreshing today. We've even revived the old politic wars!
kamiller42 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I know Budge is not on vacation. She's contributing to her "forum", building a repository of lies about Catholicism, all ready to copy/paste. You can jump to her board and see recent postings. All participants in those boards need our prayers. I've seen only one person attempt to explain the faith to the moderators.
goldenchild17 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) They'll be back. At least I hope so. They've got the courage to say what I'm not allowed to say. Now, if only they'd work on their method a little bit. Edited September 21, 2006 by goldenchild17
MIKolbe Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 don't confuse courage with arrogance.......
goldenchild17 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) I'm sure there's a little of that too Edited September 21, 2006 by goldenchild17

What do you agree with them on - the Mary-as-pagan-goddess speil? The Jesuits starting the War Between the States? The Eucharist-as-idol-worship jazz? Rome being the Whore of Babylon? Or is it simply an attitude that any enemy of Rome is a friend of your side? Well, at least you admit by this that you're simply another anti-Catholic protestant, rather than a Catholic. And, personally, I see nothing "courageous" in sitting behind a computer screen, anonymously making lies and slanders against the Catholic Faith. They risk . . . perhaps (gasp!) getting [i]banned from phatmass[/i]! Oh the heroic bravery of these martyrs!

[/quote] I agree with a lot of what they bring up. Of course as being anti-catholics they have there low points as you are so quick to point out. But just because we disagree highly on many things doesn't mean I won't promote what I DO agree with. Just the same as how I won't not defend a protestant's stance against abortion simply because there are many other things I disagree with. I will promote their cause, as it is also my cause, and will continue to work on the areas in which we disagree. And yes I suppose in the sense that I do not belong to your church I do in fact "protest" it. I don't take that as a knock at all. Why would I not protest a church I found fault with? And I enjoy their posts in regards to what I agree with because frankly so far they haven't gotten kicked out yet and as I'm doing my best to stick to the rules I have refrained from posting things I have been wanting to so badly.

Jesuspaidtheprice Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Are there any scholarly, or at least semi-scholarly Catholic boards where serious issues can be discussed without all of this non-sense that so often creeps up on internet bulletin boards?

[/quote] Which nonsense? You mean the type where anti-Catholics log in, tell faithful Catholics what they are "supposed to believe" and what the Church "believes," then debunk the strawman argument and never pay one moment's attention to the fact that faithful Catholics know what the Church teaches better than Jack Chick does? Or did you mean some other type of nonsense?
Budge Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) Raphael... Some claim that anyone who doesnt agree with them is a LIAR. Edited September 22, 2006 by Budge
Thy Geekdom Come Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) [quote name='Budge' post='1071291' date='Sep 22 2006, 12:30 PM'] Raphael...I know everyones a "liar" that doesnt agree with you. [/quote] Budge, there are many who disagree with me for honest reasons and I respect them for it. There are others who disagree with me because they detest the truth. It's one thing to claim that Catholicism isn't true. It's an entirely different thing to make up a farce of Catholicism and claim that isn't true. It's simply not honest. It's deceitful, dishonest, and dishonorable. At the very least, you could use as the norm of Catholic doctrine something that Catholicism actually holds to be true, such as the Catechism. You don't do that. Instead, you find little articles from anti-Catholics or from people who mistakenly think they are Catholic and try to take those as general statements on what Catholics believe. You fail to realize that Christ Himself said there would be bad fruit on the vine and that it would be pruned. If you really think you can judge Christ, who is the vine, by some of the bad fruit on the branches ripe for pruning, then it is still Christ whom you judge. Inflammatory and loaded statements which seem to claim that I'm calling you a liar are simply misleading. I suggest you act like St. Paul and put away childish things.

cmotherofpirl Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 This will be enforced: Personal Attacks A post or comment that has nothing to do with the topic, [b]but is specifically meant to upset or criticize another person or group of people.[/b] This includes, but is not limited to, calling people "heretics" (used in a derogatory manner), "democrooks", etc. If you wish is debate something frame it within the above terms or you will be warned or suspended. Most people here are members of the Catholic Church, not "Catholic Church". The head of our Church is Benedict 16th, not Benny. If you cannot be respectful, play elsewhere.
