HisChildForever Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I was just trying to make light of my past prickish behavior towards you. Oh lol. Well you know I behaved in the same way, and it's all water under the bridge. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneLine Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 There have been a number of posts since I started this reply. dUSt, why not PM her and ask her? I am sure she would answer the question. Beyond that....Sometimes the humor isn't that funny after a point, guys. Teasing and banter at this time in this thread may not be appropriate. Sometimes we don't realize we have hurt people when we say things. And sometimes arguing someone into the ground can have an effect like what has happened with CatherineM. There's a story about a monk who was a wiz at argumentation, who after a long argument, succeeded in defeating his brother monk. The abbot's comment was, "Brother, you won the argument, but you lost your brother." Exactly. I'm not saying any of you caused the breach, but I think that a BIG HURT happened. If someone is quiet online, it doesn't always mean assent... it can mean very, very hurt. I think CatherineM got very, very hurt.... and I don't think people realized it then... and I think some don't realize it now. But a lot of us do, and we aren't sure what to do about it. And sometimes there are things going on behind the scenes that don't show up on a thread... but can make a huge difference in how things are taken that are seen on line. I don't know exactly what happened with Catherine, but I do remember a few times when things happened to her that were NOT on Phatmass, but that resulted in her making a very firm decision to not continue in those relationships. My bet is that is what is going on. And it saddens me. This kind of disconnect feels to me like the brokenness that occurred in the Garden of Eden. No one thought that one was such a big deal at the time, either.... It's interesting tome that the Triduum is when this is coming up. Repairing the disconnect is the reason Jesus was Incarnated.... it is very much a part of Jesus choice to become one with us to repair the breach between humans and the Trinity. I'm praying for the breach to be repaired.... dUSt, perhaps it is your role to reach out? Praying for all of us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) For my part, I'm sorry, Catherine. P.S. I didn't start this thread to joke, or to argue. Just to express my sadness that Catherine isn't here anymore. She's funny, she's kind, she has pointed arguments, and she's awesome. I miss all of that.

Apotheoun Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I thought she had stopped posting for Lent, but based upon her last post it does not look that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 by the way, on that thread http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/126989-pope-benedict-resigning/page-7 when I said I was mad at the idiots looking for scandals, that was not directed at Catherine at all, people on my facebook were digging for dirt (sex abuse this and that). I hope Catherine didn't think I was calling her an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
