• 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.

You are right that they cannot promote their ideology in OBOB, it's against the Statement of Faith in there.

The main reason I can see as to why a forum wouldn't be created for them is because there aren't many on this site. I think I know of only one or two and they post extremely infrequently.

Are you SSPX or just interested in having discussions on issues related to them? If you just want to discuss the issues, we could find a forum where it would be allowed.

A faith icon might be more feasible than a forum, but that decision is made by folks higher up the CF ladder than me.

Nope, no SSPX here.
I do however sympathise with them s great deal, but Francis I is my pope.

The reason as for why I brought the subject up is because as you said discussions with them and genuine interest in their angle on things are IMO missing on CF.

Also despite they're outnumbered greatly and just a splinter group I think they should have the option of flagging SSPX in their faith symbol at this site.

So if refered to OBOB they should at least have the possibility to mark their faith.


Anyway it was just something I found missing in this rather plural forum:)
So I thought that this is in the spirit of CF.

If there were enough of then to make a forum worthwhile, the Admins would definitely consider it. Since outright SSPXers are rare, I don't think it will happen.

If you wanted to discuss SSPX issues, you could start your thread in Denomination Specific Theology (a subforum of General Theology). That's probably the most appropriate place.
