Especially because my fellow integrists don't want anything more than a place to discuss what's become of our Church without being automatically dismissed as reactionary lunatics. We don't have too many places like that in our own Church.
We didn't set out to drive anybody else off the forum, yet it seems that's exactly what happened.
On the other hand, I do feel a little sinful schadenfreude at hearing some of the more liberal Catholics complaining that they don't have a voice here, no one listens to them anymore, and they're always being insulted, patronized and having their faith questioned.
Now they have some sense of what it's been like for us all this time in the Church.
But do you and your friends really want to bear the responsibility for slapping others around and/or driving them off the FR Forum?
I think not, because I know deep down, all of you hold the tenets of faith and love fast in your hearts.
The problems arise when all is concentrated in the 'faith' area, and we forget about the 'love' area.
Remembering always, "Love is patient."
