I don’t argue his right to do this, never have. I’ve argued it’s a prudential error, as in wrong.

The ironic thing Msgr. …. is we actually know eachother… at least we did 20 years ago. I have no intention of helping the Church’s enemies. In afct, I know more than a couple of the bloggers personally.

Maybe you saw my sarcasm in my first post, but I certainly meant what I said. I don’t think that he should have done this.

You are right that some cannot make the distinction between sinful and prudential decisions. That argues for active editing of comments. But I think it’s an actual risk that’s taken when we start talking about any of this in the public fora.

J.M.J. Thank you, Abadilla, for your three comments. Yes, we pray fr the great Holy Father and to his Successor. “Ad multos annos” to them. And the same to you.

Yes, I’m trying to figure out what he is so upset at the Pope’s decision. Only the Holy Father knows about his infirmities and his limitations at this point in his life and I would not dare stand on judgment of what he has done. I love the Holy Father and think he did a wonderful job in a church so fractured by dissention and outright division, and we witness their divisions here daily.

You stated, “(I sent this to you this morning but it doesn’t seem to have gone through.)”
Well it isn’t the first time that I write something in CV only to see it disappear in cyberspace. I don’t know why.

Well, folks like Tranxtian and others will never cease to amaze me. I just don’t understand why they are so adamant at spewing their venom against the Church and everything we hold sacred. What is to prevent them from joining whatever church they will and be happy there rather than harping on Catholicism as if their diatribes will make the Catholic Church change anything.
I also hate it when they try to pose as “concerned” Catholics when in fact they hate the Church and everything the Church stands for, and they think we are so idiotic, we buy their so-called concern.
Sooner or later the moderators will do what they have already done to other dissenters.

Hi. Monsignor, I will miss your comments during the Lenten season. Do continue to pray for our Holy Father and his successor. I’m apprehensive about the new conclave, but hopefull that all will go well for Holy Mother Church.

J.M.J. Abadilla, thank you for your service to so many. I think that I won’t post during Lent. Please be assured of my Prayers.

J.M.J. Yes, Abadilla, the
errors of Tranxtian and his ilk will never stand. I hope that the
Moderators will seek to curtail the damage that they have done here.

I don’t understand the insistence of the person who posted on “First Reactions to Pope Benedict’s Resignation (Update)” that the Holy Father is making a mistake. By claiming that the Holy Father is making a serious mistake, doesn’t this person realize that he only emboldens the enemies of the Church, some of whom post here, who are unable to make the distinction between sinful decisions and those of prudence? I think that it is a big mistake to inject one’s opinion in a forum ill-equipped to handle such delicate distinctions. The Holy Father has made his decision. Don’t judge it; honor it. He has every right to do as he did.

Though I have sadness, I completely accept and honor this decision of His Holiness. Viva il Papa!

(I sent this to you this morning but it doesn’t seem to have gone through.)

I don’t understand the anger of and the insistence displayed by “Roman Papabile” on “First Reactions to Pope Benedict’s Resignation (Update)” that the Holy Father is making a mistake. By claiming that the Holy Father is making a serious mistake, doesn’t this person realize that he only emboldens the enemies of the Church, some of whom post here, who are unable to make the distinction between sinful decisions and those of prudence? I think that Roman Papabile is the one making a big mistake by injecting his opinion in a forum ill-equipped to handle such delicate distinctions. The Holy Father has made his decision. Don’t judge it but honor it. He has every right to do as he did. “Roman Papabile” is, in his own words, infuriated. I, for my part, am sad. Yet, I completely accept and honor this decision of His Holiness. Vivia il Papa!

Monsignor, Tranxtian like Paul and others do not fool anybody. They despise this Pope as they do the previous 264 Supreme Pontiffs of the Catholic Church because they are the guardians of the Catholic faith, a Catholic faith they rejected long ago or never accepted. Folks like Tranxtian would feel more at home with the flaming liberals who populate the Episcopal church today, where one finds very little of Christian tradition left.
As for the moderators noticing Tranxtian, it’s only a matter of time before they get fed up of his insolence as you and I are.
