Can we play nice?

I have enabled anonymous posting again. I had some nice regulars that liked to be able to post anonymously and I felt badly have to change the settings. I realize there is a large following of locals from the Cincinnati and Covington diocese that visit here and it is not fair to them either. As far as I know, Ten Reasons and Priest to Be: A Seminarian’s Thoughts are the only other Catholic bloggers from this area. There is local interest and much of the traffic to this blog is from the Tri-State area. Please know that there were only two or three ruining it for everyone and I've decided to deal with this in a different manner. Be respectful of my family and I and I will respect you. Now play nice or I will be forced to get that liturgical shotgun out.

An unfortunate casualty

As I have been meandering around, I'm finding a pattern on some blogs I frequent. Fellow traditional Catholics have had to mention "comments" or disable the "anonymous" setting lately. Oddly, in my travels, I have not noticed many liberal/cafeteria Catholic blogs(or at least any that are successful). My advice is, if you are upset that you can't get your agenda out, start your own blog to do so. Trying to convert a traditional or orthodox Catholic to your camp is fruitless. To my anonymous commentors that were respectful but challenged my opinions and choices, I apologize. To those who hid behind the anonymous feature to slam me, my family and threaten me, please find another target. I pray for you that God may send you inspiration for a hobby other than trolling traditional Catholic blogs. I wanted to post this out of respect for those that used the anonymous feature with good reason and did not mean ill will. I need to give a shout out to V is for Victory! and her post on rogue phantom comments for my inspiration. She even prominently features some of this vile in her category "Victory Endorsements". If you don't believe there are other traditional Catholics such as myself out there, check my blog roll. I don't reject the Magestarium, I don't pick and choose what to believe. I am, however, 100% a traditional Catholic. I don't accept "creative liturgies", OCP Music that was derived by folk musicians(see New Advent, Ecclesiastical Music if unclear on what constitutes sacred music as set forth in the motu proprio, Tra le Sollecitudini and other sources.), Life Teen Mass(ones not up to par with GIRM/rock bands/crowding the altar, etc), "encouraging" girls to be servers(yes, this is an abuse, they are permitted, not to be encouraged), Communion under both kinds is given in all circumstances (Prohibited- an abuse). I could go further but I have to move on. I appreciate my fellow bloggers and love being a part of a huge Catholic blog community. While I don't always agree with the comments, any comment given with kindness and taste I have published and tried to respond. Thank you for your interest in my blog and opinions. I hope to clear up any confusion from my regulars with this entry.
