Okay, right. I shouldn’t go online then. I shouldn’t seek out the Catholic community that does a really terrible job of being available in real life.

Let’s be honest here, there aren’t any Catholic mommy groups, there are no venues for catholics to meet as friends and no Catholic culture at all. That is why people are driven online at times to see if anyone else is having Catholic lifestyle problems. But yeah, just give up on going online.
 
All we need is one or two links. It is hard to know what you are talking about and have a discussion if we can’t see what exactly you are so upset about.

I don’t know where you live. That has not been my experience.

RE: groups. If you don’t have a group and want a group, start a group.
 
Legitimate. There is very little Catholic community offline. I can’t imagine how isolated I would feel if I was never allowed to seek out Catholics online! From my conversion to now the majority of my growth and learning has been strictly online because there is nothing available for Catholics offline where I live.
 
Not as easy as it sounds, and certainly not for a mother dealing with young children.

As a single lady I tried to start a Bible study in my area. Nobody was interested in attending so I was once again left out in the cold.
 
If you don’t believe it happens… well, I’m happy for you. I’ve also seen of which she speaks and it is disconcerting.

But I suppose a witness isn’t enough. Is that because we’re female and you don’t trust our judgment on the issue? 😉
 
I think it depends on where one might live. If they live in a fairly orthodox diocese, then yes, those things exist. But if they live in less faithful dioceses, then perhaps not.

Hello @sarasrin4,

Most of us are trying to answer your question, but we really need an example or two of such posts. Could you please provide an example?

Some sites are simply not in full communion with the Catholic Church, nor officially recognized by the Church.

Fisheaters is a great example. When CatholicCulture.org used to have their review of faithful websites online, Fisheaters was a site that received a “red” warning because they sometimes have posts/articles that are too far extreme. They have a lot of good stuff too, but they were considered “dangerous” due to Catholic Culture due to articles/posts which were not in-line with the magisterial teaching of the Church.

God bless

It’s easier to start a small group in a parish with the parish’s support. Instead of trying to lead a Bible study yourself, talk to your pastor to see if he (or one the parish staff) would be willing to lead a Bible study at your parish. Does your parish have a director for faith formation? That would be another person to talk with if you want to start a small discipleship group at your parish. Also check out your diocese’s website for the availability of diocese’s wide Catholic groups.
 
I’m sorry, I don’t understand. I am not a female. I have never seen this so-called woman hating on catholic forums.
 
The internet is a swamp, horses of all colors here. The price of freedom.

Might be best to remember Paul’s words when trodding the internet forest; “examine all things, keep that which is good.”
 
I think it’s in any forums online. I don’t think it’s unique to Catholic men but it does happen in Catholic forums.
 
Right, but I was wondering if someone could provide an example of it heppening.
 
Next time I see it I’ll save a screenshot and bring it for you to see. 🙂

I can’t wave a magic wand and make people be saintly. If I see a hateful post on CAF, I flag it to alert the moderators and I possibly tell the person who posted it they are out of line. If people post hateful stuff somewhere else on the Internet where I don’t see it, I’m not going to run around the whole Internet trying to police their behavior just because they happen to be Catholic.

I’m also not sure what your whole hangup on this issue is because you aren’t posting a specific example. And now you’re off on some weird tangent about the SSPX.

I’m furthermore not seeing anyone being un-nice or unkind on this thread.

Funny how a thread about women haters quickly draws out TLM haters. And isn’t SSPX a favorite target?
I’ve never encountered “woman-hating” in either FSSP parishes or SSPX chapels. Guess I’m too focused on the Holy, Immemorial Mass to notice. shrug

I’ve muted all response notifications. Less temptation to respond in anger to flamers that way. Have a nice day!
