Sometimes you just gotta laugh and let it go

Apparently Church Militant finds my comments problematic because lately they just keep removing them or editing them to keep the parts they like and remove the parts they don't like.  Go figure. 

Here's how it happened... 

First, on July 5th with their "SSPX Superior Isn't Primarily Seeking Reunion with the Catholic Church" article. 

There were only about 8 comments last I had checked and left the following comments (which were removed and then the comments area closed completely). 

I left this comment: 

A Church Militant moderator responded...

so I responded with... 

The EWTN article is HERE. 

And then they shut down the comments and removed all comments. I truly have no idea what happened there. Church Militant didn't leave any explanation on their website, so it's any one's guess. 

Second Incident

Now today, I left a comment to another person on the Church Militant website in the "Rome Be Damned" Vortex area, about Fatima and the Consecration to Russia. 

Here is the exchange...

To be clear, my comment was about the Consecration not being done properly, hence Sr. Lucy saying it was not done right 3 times! More on that coming up.

I then commented...

To which the Church Militant moderator responded to me...

And this comment: 

To which I responded in an honest attempt to explain myself further and not offend anyone...

Apparently not liking that response Church Militant responded by this comment...

(**Just a little side note here on "causing doubts". I find this a bit ironic because of all the "doubts" caused by the "off-the-cuff" statements made by the pope (which EWTN addressed and Michael Voris rebuked them for), yet I have not yet heard CM say a word about those doubts caused by the pope to the laity. No concern for the confusion among the laity when its caused by the pope? I don't understand that, I really don't.)

...and then they edited my entire long comment above to these two sentences-which I guess they liked ;) 

:)  LOL  That's really a far cry from my original comment that goes into detail using the links they provided to explain myself! 

I told Church Militant that editing my comment in such a way was deceitful and to please remove my comment completely.  They did. 

So, I still really don't understand what I did wrong or who I was causing "to doubt" when I quoted the EWTN link provide BY Church Militant. 

*shrug* 

That said, I don't want to trash talk the good folks at Church Militant. We are all in the same boat and we all want the same thing for our Church, we just have a different approached. This isn't a punch CM in the nose post, its just me having my FULL say on what happened here on my own blog, because Church Militant won't allow me that privilege (it's not my right- which the moderators will be quick to remind you) on their site.  

So there it is, make of it what you want.  

We will just have to agree to disagree on some subjects and approaches to issues facing the Church.  These are two of those subjects, not the first, and more than likely not the last.


God bless us all! 


In Christ,
