• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I have decided after some thought that I will no longer remain on CF or OBOB. I feel that I can no longer post here as often as I like; or speak my mind as fully as I have been able to, whenever I first joined CF and OBOB. I shall not go into detail here.

This has been brewing for sometime. I have tried my best; however, I think it prudent to leave.

I am on Fisheaters Traditional Catholic Forum (same screen name as here) if you should like to chat there; or alternatively, I am on facebook. Private-message me with your facebook profile linked, if you should like to add me on facebook.

I realised at times, I may have be lax, at others: over-zealous; at others still, perhaps not as zealous as I have ought to have been.

If I have offended anyone here, caused any grief, hurt, any one to sin, or take issue with me: I beg your forgiveness.

May our Holy Saviour Jesus Christ bless you all. And may the Blessed Virgin Mary intercede for you; And be thy guide and protectress.
St Thomas More and St John Fisher orate pro nobis.


Goodbye,
Matthew


I never knew fish eaters has a forum. I hear catholic answers is pretty good too.

I hope you stay here though. I think its the winter. The winter just makes us all gloomy and negative sometimes. All the grey, cold and snow :(

One can only bang one's head the wall enough times, before one realises that one's efforts are basically, futile.

You never know who's lurking and what effect you may have on them. If you can make a valid and charitable defense of the faith, as you do, then who knows what kind of influence you may have had on building the Kingdom?

You are the credit to the faith.

May the Lord hold and keep you. :crossrc:

Was? Warum? You better stay on Fisheaters mate, sorry to hear this.

I will. Unless, they shut down. :( They're good folks. And the Owner's a good fellow. QuisUtDeus (the owner ) is a good man; he makes sure that the rad-trad holier-than-thou folks stay in line with all the regular and normal traditional Catholics, the non-Catholics, and whomever else is there---and stay charitable. Fisheaters Catholic forum really gets a bad rap; It's a good forum. However, as to be a expected it's got a few bad apples or whatever there: but eventually, they'll get shown the door if they don't reform.

I don't think anyone in OBOB has any leeway to actually criticize another Catholic forum. I mean... c'mon! :p

You are a great poster please add me on FB I have sent you information. I know you don't know me but I really enjoy your take on issues and I like how you think. You are true to the Church and have probably only offended those who cannot accept what the Church teaches because they so love the world and its sad. Truly they need the prayers too! You will be missed we need more people like you here.
