www.byzcath.org Forums News & Events Church News The Byzantine Forum is not a dumping ground for right-wing pundit articles - please!

We are intelligent people here and are more than capable of finding these articles online. They have nothing to do in particular with the Byzantine Churches and really shouldn't be dumped here.

I agree that they don't have anything to do with the Byzantine Catholic Church, but I did enjoy reading them; but then again, I'm just another "right-wing extremist."

I enjoyed reading them too. More, baby, more!!!!!!

As one famous conservative Christian once said, "liberalism is not advanced by the clear-thinking of the left, but the foolish ponitifcation of the right."

Dear Steve,

Thanks for sharing these articles. There are many who need encouragement right now. These are very positive words and put things in the proper perspective.

Keep up the good work,
Rose

Rose,

If those who equate religion with promiscuity had their way we would never read anything but what they wrote. Which is worse, Fundamentalism on the right or Fundamentalism on the left. For that matter most of the articles were neither right nor left. Not everything is politics despite what the left asserts.

The articles may have been better summarized but let them be. It used to confuse me when the left constantly wanted to silence all opinions but their own until I realized that they have no case of their own. If they let other's opinions be heard they would be exposed for the empty burnt out cases they truly are.

Jack Chick or Fred Phelps vs. Rembert Weakland, or Rembert Truelove that would be a true test of Right wing Fundamentalism vs. Left wing Fundamentalism. But it is not fundamentalism to stand with the Church in what she proposes.

Personally, I wish that no one would simply paste articles of any kind, right left or center.

It is so much better if people raise their own ideas or questions. Perhaps quoting some part of an article in support of an argument, or which raises a question, and then commenting on it with something appropriate. Simply to post articles, which are readily available elsewhere, seems inappropriate.

It may also be an infringement of ownership.

I can't disagree with that.

Right on, Hieromonk Elias! You get my vote for Patriarch.

Dear Friends,

I agree that posting articles here isn't what this Forum is for.

However, if someone would like to call our attention to an article on another site, that would be fine.

As for right-wing/left-wing, don't forget monarchist articles while someone's at it!!

At least monarchism has something to do with the Eastern Churches . . .

Dear friends,

Father Elias has raised some valid points. This forum is not the place to simply cut and paste articles from other websites, especially four at once. I am also concerned about copyright infringement. Thus, I have decided to remove those articles posted by Steve D.

If Steve would like to discuss these issues here, he should either quote from the articles or refer us to them, interjecting his own thoughts and opinions. But simply spamming the forum with articles from other sites is not acceptible.

Not surprising that you people don't accept the truth. I always thought that you Byzantine Riters were not really loyal to the magesterium. Now I know for sure that you are all supporters of AmChurch.

Dear Steve,

We are supporters of Christ Who is the Truth and of His Church.

Anything that is not Christ is outside the Light.

As for the rest of your "post," you've broken the rules of discourse here.

I call on the Administrator/Moderator for a swift judgement here.

Alex

Slava Jesu Kristu,

Bless the AMChurch, whatever that is?!?

Dmitri

Actually, statements such as these show that YOU are the one unloyal to the Pope and the Magesterium.

Dear Friends[ and yes, you are friends ]

I apologise for the post from a fellow Roman Catholic.

His discourtesy appals me - not to mention his inaccuracy
