Good Friday Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 [quote][b]Shawn_H asks:[/b] Why?[/quote] I can't speak for dUSt, but if this were my site, I'll tell you why I would have enacted this rule. Negative criticism of the current magisterium by Catholics amounts to scandal at least, schism at most. Either way, this is sin, and sin that can affect multiple others and even cause damage (venial sin) or death (mortal sin) to their souls and their relationship with God. As the phorum administrator and owner of the website, dUSt is responsible for making sure, inasmuch as he's capable, that nothing on the phorum causes damage or death to another person's soul. If it does, and he allows it, then he would be morally culpable -- not to mention that it would just stink. Besides that, Phatmass's mission is to promote the Catholic Church and all that she teaches. Phatmass can't do that if it's overrun by those who tear her down because she's made some decisions they don't like over the past 50 years or so. The mission of evangelization is of the utmost importance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willguy Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 dUSt, Not to go against you, but I have a question. Can we still discuss the differences? (At this point I should have a disclaimer that I go to Novus Ordo Mass and LOVE it and JPII is my hero). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dUSt Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 [quote name='willguy' date='Apr 23 2004, 02:24 PM'] Not to go against you, but I have a question. Can we still discuss the differences? [/quote] Of course. There's a distinct difference between constructively discussing something and a complete disregard to the current magisterium. Unfortunately, it's a judgement call. Fortunately, I trust the moderators to make good judgements. haha Phatmass is like TV. If you don't like the channel, turn it. We grow 100% pure Orthodoxy here.
