It’s of my opinion (as feedback) that a Catholic forum ought to be Catholic,
- for those who are Catholic,
- for those seeking information or have legitimate questions about what Catholics believe,
- and for those in the process of becoming Catholic.
I don’t believe it fair to those forum members/users listed above to be subject, here, to anti-Catholicism, or those who intentionally are not Catholic and insist upon posting hostile anti-Catholic doctrinal ideas.
I believe a Catholic forum should be a place where it’s members/users feel safe to post openly, without being attacked or disrespected.
I don’t believe a Catholic forum should tolerate those who have no intention of or being open to Catholicism.
If visitors and guests to the CatholicTalk forum see and experience “nonsense” posts, or where the forum tolerates those who intentionally are not serious about being open to growth in the Catholic faith, those visitors and guests will seek other “Catholic” forums online for support and growth, being genuine Catholic forums.
These are just my opinions, and feedback. Thank you!
P.S. If I did have a child (son or daughter) as a minor, or a sibling who were seeking spiritual growth, and asked if I would recommend CatholicTalk forum as a good and safe place for spiritual growth as a Catholic, my answer would be NO.
P.S.S. If CatholicTalk forum were a “school” or parochial school in which I could trust to receive an authentic Catholic faith, my answer would be NO. I’m not saying there are no genuine Catholics here, because there are many. But rather this Forum is open to and tolerates “ideas” and other users/members who are obviously anti-Catholic and not serious about Catholicism.
