I’ve been considered making this thread for weeks. As my username suggests, I’m writing a novel, and in that novel Hermann Kanzler makes an appearance. Because of what’s transpired on here, I can’t help but suspect that I may be calumniated or possibly even doxxed when my novel is published . So I’m typing this final thread to try and set the record straight, regardless of who believes or listens to me.

The reason I left this site has practically nothing to do with Hermann Kanzler, the reasons are as follows: 1, I have been accused of believing that all Novus Ordo masses are clown masses, that I worship Latin and think that it forces God to answer my prayers, that I hate Eastern Rite languages when I’ve just said that I think that the Eastern Rite languages are as Sacred as Latin, that I blindly believe everything that Trump tweets and that the US is the last bastion of Catholicism etc. Whenever I try to defend myself and assert what I mean, people keep doubling-down and ganging-up on me, and I end-up being punished for defending myself while the offenders get off scot-free; no matter what I say people constantly insist that I’m X, Y, and Z.

Now I am sorry for the things I’ve said and done that were genuinely wrong. I wish I had the time and ability to go through and clarify what specifically those things were that I did that were wrong, and not the things that I did that weren’t wrong and frankly, you should be apologizing to me for; but like I said I’m not able to, but I am genuinely sorry for them.

The second reason why I’m gone is, in brief: today, statues of Our Blessed Mother are being openly attacked, and yet people continue to insist on maintaining normalcy and in practice, deny that the Church is in crisis. The Pacha-not-our-Mama abomination in and of itself should’ve been enough to wake people up, but instead people had the reprehensible gall to defend it and call others “reactionaries” and the like; how would you have treated someone who was scandalized by it and thought of leaving the Church? Would you have called him or her a “reactionary?” Now I realize a lot of people may accuse me of wanting everyone to panic the like, no I don’t, I want people to admit that the situation we’re in is bad and that it’s harming people, and organize an appropriate prayerful response; and definitely not attack “reactionaries” and the like.

So that’s why I’m gone, frankly CAF is the 2nd or 3rd, worst forum site I have ever been on; the no. 1 worst forum site I’ve been on also had a Catholics on it, and it was them that made it the worst. It speaks volumes that the two worst forum sites I’ve been on involved Catholics, while the best forum site I’ve been on, and am on now, is secular and there’s only like two other Catholics on there. I hope and pray that the people on that site, and those like them elsewhere join the Church; and that the novel I’m working on helps.

So that’s all, say and think what you will, I’m going to contact the mods and request that this account gets permanently shuttered; and then I’ll move on with my life.

Farewell.

I’m not sure why you put that and what, exactly you met by that (it came across as “all Catholics are horrible”).

Its probably because you feel much more strongly about particularities within Catholicism.

This site is closing, which for you means some peace.
Hey, there are always going to be people who don’t agree with you. I guess its harder when you think those people are on the same team as you.

Nothing I love more than sharing my unchallenged opinions and advice on CAF all day. :sweat_smile:I suppose I should be getting to work, now. 😏

Maybe I’m missing something here. You’re profile states that you just joined CAF two hours ago. Unless you’re a long time member that was banned, and now back under a new account, how after only two hours, could you conclude that CAF is the 2nd or 3rd, worst forum site you have ever been on???
 
I think you might be overreacting a little bit.

And it seems like you aren’t gone, but you’re here making a thread. Are you the poster who has in the past kept making threads about leaving, but never actually leaves?

Respectfully, posting here seems to be unhealthy for you. I hope you can find someone to help you, IRL, with your struggles.

I agree. I also want to say, with all due respect, that you’re overthinking this. I highly doubt many people will remember your posts under previous accounts, let alone read this thread about why you left. I mean this with all kindness, because I can see from your post that you struggle with this, but truly, people don’t think about what you’ve posted as much as you do. People move on, they forget, they don’t keep in their heads what random strangers on the internet think. I hope things don’t keep in your head as you seem to think they do in others. It’s not a healthy mindset.

OP, it may reassure you to know that on December 31st, these forums will be shutting down and Catholic Answers aren’t archiving it. So within a few weeks, none of your problems with CAF will matter anymore.

QuietTraditionalGuy or whatever your name was, you really need to get over your need to frequently announce how mad or aggrieved you are. This is like the tenth time you’ve made a big dramatic exit. I don’t mean to be unkind, but people aren’t as preoccupied with your comings and goings as you seem to think.

Good luck with your novel.

You’ll find no end of secular sites out there that will welcome you if you are bashing ordinary everyday Catholics on it. But that’s not a gauge of what makes a site ‘the best’.
 
Since you mention Hermann Kanzler, I suppose you must be that poster who started two threads that I remember, making foolish unhistorical statements about Italian unification in 1870. I can’t find those threads now, I suppose they’ve both been taken down, but if I remember correctly, I probably flagged one or two of your posts on both of them.

The Church is in the same “crisis” it’s been in since Christ ascended to Heaven, namely that some people vehemently oppose it and even hate and persecute it. This isn’t some new “woke” thing, it’s been happening for centuries and will likely continue till Christ comes down again from heaven.

I’m not sure what you expect me to do about someone smashing up a statue, except pray for the situation and donate to replace it with a better protected and less breakable statue. Running around in a state of heightened anxiety solves nothing, and besides, I’m already dealing with real-life things such as pandemics and my job. I’m not sure if you yourself have any real-life responsibilities, but in any event it might be better for you to focus on more constructive things than coming back to a soon-to-be-closed forum where you’ve likely been suspended in the past just to rant one last time about how badly you think you were treated.
