I never criticized Catholic Answers - ever. Catholic Answers doesn’t adhere to a singular strain of Catholicism like Fisheaters, and at least has some decorum and decent moderators:
Exactly - you have a double standard, are engaging in intellectual dishonesty, and quasi-calumny. You use lack of authority and run by amateurs in a pejorative sense against FE, then turn a blind eye to the fact that CA is the same. Further, you ignore the fact that it is OK by the Church for both to be that way. You apply what people post in the forum to the apologetics section of the website for FE, but you don’t do it here. Further, you use all kinds of rhetoric against our friends (forum members) at FE who come from all kinds of backgrounds, thoughts, and ideas, yet you ignore the fact that you’ve come here and posted a heretical thought - that the Church changes her teaching - and that I wouldn’t dare accuse CA or Karl or anyone on the staff of holding that belief.
To sum it up, you have an axe to grind with traditional Catholicism and you will grind that axe no matter what kinds of misrepresentations, proxima calumnies, etc., you need to.
Tridentine Mass vs. Novus Ordo
Pre-Vatican II vs. Vatican II
Non-Ecumenical vs. Ecumenical
Eucharist in the hand vs. Eucharist at the rail, etc.
Well, it’s not the “Tridentine Mass” (whatever that is) vs. the Novus Ordo Missae. It’s the Extraordinary Form and the Ordinary Form. And, the Pope says we have the right to like one over the other.
It’s not Pre-Vatican II vs. Vatican II - it’s a proper hermeneutic of continuity. You are the one claiming the Church changed her teachings, not I or Vox or FE.
Its not Non-Ecumenical vs. Ecumenical. The Church has always been ecumenical. However, for sure, there is a lot of false ecumenism going around promoted by people who want to change and/or destroy the Church, those who are confused by what ecumenism means, etc.
Eucharist in the hand is not part of traditional Catholicism so why would a traditional Catholic promote that practice? In fact, it really isn’t the norm now - it was granted a dispensation. Traditionally, Communion-in-the-hand was allowed in times of persecution. However, kneeling at the rail has never been abrogated AFAIK.
I’ve already given several examples - You just refuse to read and listen.
I read, I listened, and I’ve answered. Veni, Vidi, Respondi
Fisheaters and traditional Catholics advocate for a very tiny minority of the population of Catholics, yet they are quite vocal (as you can see by the attacks coming out of the woodwork to defend this radical web site).
As good Catholics, we’re vocal when we see calumny, heresy, etc. Sure, why not?
It’s not heresy pointing out the differences in beliefs and practices between traditional Catholicism as practiced by the SSPX, etc. and the modern day post Vatican II Catholic Church (everyone else).
Aha! So, you see two different Churches? A pre-V2 and a post-V2? Interesting. That, too, however, is heresy as is your contention that Church teaching changes.
You get the idea. Fisheaters is still a fringe group on the outskirts of Catholicism, even though they wish they were mainstream. They are not.
We don’t care about being “mainstream”. We care about being Catholic. Just like CA, EWTN, etc. However, we care about promoting traditional Catholic culture, liturgy, etc.
We can agree to disagree - The web site is very dangerous.
I will not agree to be silent against calumny and heresy which is what you have been filling Karl’s forum with. I venture to guess his moderators will not be quiet either, and this thread will be deleted or you will be banned or both.
