No, it's because you're not pure blooded Italian. You're probably half Irish.

Haha... you know what I just realized? You joined the day after I did!

I don't think you stink Heavenseeker. I think you will be rewarded greatly in Heaven for your fidelity and love of the Church, even without a little Church Militant tag. Jesus was mocked and scorned. His crown was a wreath of thorns. He's letting you be like Him in a very very small way, by being unnoticed. But even though it's small, it's valuable because he chose it for you.

Honestly, I used to get a little unsure about the fact that I've never gotten Church Militant... I wondered if I was saying things that didn't seem orthodox, and I couldn't quite figure it out. Then, I just kind of decided there was no use worrying about that... I could only do my best to be faithful to Church teaching, and defend it, and hope that I've lived what I believe in to the best of my ability and never scandalized anyone. I would never want to... and I trust that Jesus knows that.

I think, I'm just one of those people that doesn't tend to be noticed that much. I've always been like that. Its part of my temperament... And finally I realized that that was ok. Most of my life I've had people trying to get me to be more outgoing... and I always was kicking myself for not being more of the personable "fun" type... But that just not the way God made me. And my way of sharing my faith is different than others, and is going to reach different people in different ways. But God will still use that for His glory.

My point is, even if your orthodoxy and fidelity hasn't been "noticed" enough to be made Church Militant on here, you might have affected people on here that you won't know about until eternity, and you have been noticed by God.

And yeah... Maybe it is because you're Irish or from Kansas. Great suffering sometimes comes from things we did not ask for. But Jesus chose that for you too! And all things work out for good for those who love God! Even being from Kansas! Not that there's anything wrong with Kansas. Except the airport in Kansas City. That is an airport with one idiotic layout if there ever was one.

Nobody was more surprised than me when I got a flag. In fact I'm still surprised. I just try not to mention it in case it was a big mistake and they take it away. Shhhh.......
You're right though, nobody should worry about it. Anyone that's here longer than a couple weeks realizes that the flags don't automatically make a post good, and lack thereof doesn't make a post bad.

yeah i'm the same way i have my friends that i like to do stuff with and thats about it, i dont like to go out and just do stuff at random that much. though i have started to branch out more this past year by going to more parties and doing a few more things that i didnt used to do. but its not because i think that i have to its just been a natural shift like God was like "ok you made it to the point where i want you to start doing more things of this nature.

In Goodfellas, the main character could never become a made man because he was half Irish, not pure Italian. Same with DeNiro's character. Joe Pesci's character was Italian, and he was going to be made, but they offed him instead because he murdered a made man earlier on in the movie.
