Resurrexi Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 is just like Phatmass, except on a much larger and more chaotic scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icelandic_iceskater Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 also, they don't have a freakin awesome header Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 On the other hand its nothing like phatmass. Phatmass ranks a 9 out of 10 in my book. CA ranks a 3 out of 10. They get 3 for their tracts. Apart from their website though, Karl Keating has written some pretty amazing books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I registered for an account just so I could read some articles. It seems like there's so many members that none of them know each other...... but maybe I have a false impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinytherese Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 They're website sure is easy to remember if you ever want to find out about apologetics [url="http://www.catholic.com/"]http://www.catholic.com/[/url] and the book Catholicism vs. Fundamentalism is a good one. We used it in my apologetics class in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socrates Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 They have some of the best apologetics resources on the Web, though the searches have gotten harder since they put of the forum (more links to forum threads, as opposed to actual articles). I've used their resources many times on Phatmass debates myself. Some people are much too quick to "beat up on" their fellow orthodox Catholics.

I usually hang out in the clubhouse. The "serious" forums tend to include some fighting. And it's harder to know from what background the person posing is. But nevertheless it has been a great help for me when I was first starting researching Catholicism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin D Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I always liked Catholic Answers. Lot of resources (including access to prior magazine issues of "This Rock"), large forum community with a wide range of topics, and overall an orthodox Catholic organization that we ought to give support as well. I like Phatmass' size since it's easier to get to know people, but sometimes if I want to go to a larger Catholic board to view a wide range of topics with a lot more feedback, Catholic Answers' forums are satisfactory.

Resurrexi Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 I feel that the threads at Catholic Answers go in circles. Someone says something, then a few hours and ten pages later someone says the exact same thing. People continue to argue about it, and no-one pays attention to anything anyone else says.

The more users + number of pages = increase chances of repetition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how bad it would be if it was the same person bringing up the same topic every time though! How much worse would that be, say.... the number of ecumenical councils there are. Not that would be annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
