If you are on catholic answers forum than you are not a average catholic.

As my catholic friends have said.
 
Could you please elaborate a bit more, not sure what your getting at. Thank you . God Bless:🦋🦋
 
Well, there are well over a billion Catholics, and a good chunk of them probably don’t have regular access to the internet, not to mention this isn’t the only Catholic Forum on the internet, and a lot of Catholics don’t speak English, so this forum wouldn’t really help them.
 
I’ve never been a fan of average, anyway. Above or below, that’s how I flow.

Sorry but I don’t understand what that means. Can you please explain.
 
I’m slightly above average weight, I’m slightly above average height. Can I still be an average Catholic? Is there such a thing?
 
I think that Dann means that we are serious enough about our faith

that members will come to ask questions, advice, direction, from Catholics whom they hope can offer those kindnesess and support from a Catholic rather than on a forum with a secular perspective;

that members will turn to others for prayer when they feel sad, and sometimes desperate;

that there are also members who invest time in wanting to help where they can from a Catholic perspective;

and those who remain seeking inspiration to grow more deeply in their faith.
And all of those things.

Would this be the thought in your mind, Dann?

God bless you. It is clear that you are always yourself both seeking, and endeavouring to contribute.

So true. I go through periods where I think that it is (1) good. At least those on CAF care enough to self-identify as Catholic in an online social forum. To inquire, to debate, to share, to learn, to think about the Catholic faith. Must mean something. I mean 2 out of 10 Catholics regularly to go Mass right? Does this include the ‘average’ Catholic? Or not?

(2) bad. CAF and other more extreme Catholic forums do seem to attract/breed a kind of traditionalist (to use a neutral phrase) fanaticism (not so neutral) in some participants that is probably a good thing for the ‘average Catholic’ to steer well clear of. IMHO. (not to mention the ‘serious Christian’) Not to let off our modernist, open liberal ‘Catholic’ enthusiasts either, ‘don’t ever let that dogma get you down’, cloud your vision, and so forth…
