Just a useless question for the conservitive catholics

[scottlittlefield17]

I've been reading the posts as its been a while since I've been on and I have noticed a large influx of conservative Catholics. I have found it quite interesting that it seems as though their posts are far longer than the standard user. I was wondering if there was a reason why that seems to be the case.

You are asking why our posts are so long? Perhaps its because we have a lot of stuff on our mind that we want to talk about......

Actually, I don't think there are many "conservative catholics" on here. There are quite a few christians, but I have yet to come across another catholic. I believe East of Eden is the only other "true" conservative on here besides myself.

What about Joshua?

What about Joshua?

He came, he preached, but as far as I can see, he had very little actual interaction besides a series of 'preach posts', then he disappeared.

What about Joshua?

As I recall his posts were longer because he was copying and pasting them from a Catholic apologetics website, right up until someone found the site, found it full of antisemitic material, and shortly after, he left.

I was quite surprised you said a Catholic apologetics website was found "full of antisemitic material." The Catholic Church is NOT anti-Semitic. What was the site?

While the Catholic Church has become a lot more flexible and a lot less anti-semetic since WW2, that specific web site is run by some reactionary Roman Catholics.

I hardly think they represent the RCC.

You say the Catholic Church has become "a lot less anti-semetic." I would say it is NOT AT ALL anti-semitic, nor has it ever been. While I'm sure that there have been "reactionary Roman Catholics," it’s important to note that the Church doesn’t endorse everything its members do.

Now, that is simply not true. Have you ever heard of the Spanish inquisition?? There have been a huge number of very anti-Semitic popes too.

How about

Synod of Narbonne (1050)_prohibited Christians from living in Jewish homes.
Synod of Gerona (1078)_required Jews to pay taxes to support the Church.
Third Lateran Council (1179)_prohibited certain medical care to be provided by Christians to Jews.
Fourth Lateran Council (1215)_required Jews to wear special clothing to distinguish them from Christians.
Council of Basel (1431-1443)_forbade Jews to attend universities, them from acting as agents in the conclusion of contracts between Christians, and required that they attend church sermons.

It wasn't until 1964 that there was significant acknowledgment by the RCC of past Anti-Semitic attitudes.. but the place where the attitudes finally started changing was right after WW2, when the shock of the holocaust..

Those attitudes started changing only after Pope Pius XII was no longer Pope.
