Seriously, no offense but there's really no point in the opus thing.
If it no longer behooves you to hang out, take off and simply keep in touch with those whose associations are a positive thing for you and your faith.
FR's always been a brawl theologically and -- particularly given the toll popularity's taken on decorum -- that deficiency's only been exacerbated.
Quite frankly, as much as I wish we had the time to spoonfeed at our leisure, it's a little late for that. Perhaps it would behoove us to set up a running Catechism thread where the ignorant could ask questions without fear of anything in the least resembling ridicule or censure.
As for the rest, I'd just as soon we had a Patton who could stride down the aisle and slap some sense into those who are wringing their hands and despairing as if this sort of display -- or even our current scandal in the Church -- were the worst of what we're going to confront.
Soldiers with a sense of duty and a recognition that now is not the time to mix it up in the mess hall as much as rely on each other in what is indeed a life or death battle for our own and others' ultimate survival ... that's what we need to be.
No more of the pansy emotionalism, tender egos and need to have our beliefs or feelings "validated" or understood ... particularly when they're dead wrong.
Death to self should be the maxim by which we refuse to take personal offense at anything anyone posts. Regular prayer for the Holy Spirit to guide us might help put into perspective our pride of authorship in these exchanges.
I don't think I need to address how dangerous is the temptation to despair or to fail in our commission to win souls to Christ rather than hide our light in a barrel or -- even worse -- use it to sear the soul of another by bending it through some Personal Magnifying Glass or another.
NYer was going to do something like this, but I don't know how far she got with it.
