Well at the moment I am not displeased with you.


So no, you need not be afraid :mellow:



But you're checking in, that shows you're thinking right. Good job :yes:

[dork]is that title grammatically correct?

*tries really hard to think*

after the ACT this morning, critical thinking went out the window.

leave out the "to", perhaps?[/dork]

Actually, [i]ought[/i] should always be followed by an infinitive. According to traditional English grammar, it would have been incorrect if I had written, "Ought I be afraid?" :)

Some modern English grammarians, however, approve of the use of [i]ought[/i] followed by a verb without [i]to[/i]. These are the same evil grammarians who pervert our language by permitting the split infinitive in certain instances as well as the diabolical "singular [i]they[/i]".

In all seriousness...What's up with you?

I don't mean that in a bad way I'm just wondering. Like


Do you just like heady things? Also what are you going to be doing? Like are you joining a Seminary? If not where are you going for college?

I don't have any plans on going to the seminary right now, though I often get asked if I'm going to go to the seminary. If I were to become apply for a seminary, I'd definitely apply to one of the fraternities or institutes whose priests celebrate the Mass exclusively in the extraordinary form. Right now, my plan is to go to one of the several very orthodox Catholic universites in the United States.

Hm. That's to bad. I think it would be interesting for you to go to a secular college.


You'd make a good counter balance. It can be fun to be a counter balance. In fact I still often am. Believe it or not I'm not as hostile to religion as I come off here.


It also might be good for you, although I don't know enough about you to make any sound judgement about that.

I went through eight years of private secular lower and middle school, and I can say with complete honesty that I am very glad that I go to a Catholic high school now.

Also, if I wanted to do a minor in theology (or perhaps even a major) a secular university would not be the best place to do that. :)

I agree! You can quote canon law to all the heretics, fags, sinners, apostates and everyone.
It'd be very interesting to see the way you interact with other people.

I have a question too. Are your parents devout Catholics and did they introduce you to the EF Mass?

Well I was serious. Atheism is so fashionable in American secular colleges it's healthy for the snarky militant atheists to be conftonted with a strong, knowledgible religious person.

My parents are Catholics; however, they did not introduce me to the EF. I decided to go to the EF for the first time after reading about it online.
