My dear friends, I do get many many comments here in relation to postings here and I do try to respond to as many as possible on an individual basis, but sometimes it is better to take a few of them and respond to them in cluster form.This one is in relation to the Disclaimer:
Disclaimer - the disclaimer exists for a reason and is not in the least contradictory which is evident in itself.
However, like all else, one can manipulate the wording to suit ones own agenda, words can be made to read as one wishes them to be.
I have always held the view that every posting stands or falls on its own merits once the veracity has been checked to ensure accuracy, and once validated, then it is posted.
Postings contain info which I and others would deem to be of interst and which many would not be aware of such as the situation in Mosul, India and China to name but a few places. How this may be represented in a posting is open to interpretation by you and as many people read such, there are as many views and opinions.
As for my accepting the view that such postings may cause scandal or upset to others who read postings, that is something that I cannot possibly be held for, never mind morally. It is not in the least something that be practically - or otherwise - held over me as diversity ensures democracy.
If someone believes that I am to be held accountable morally for what is on this site, then I hate to disappoint but that is not going to happen.
Postings here are here for a purpose which is to inform others what is happening, to encourage debate and discussion and perhaps also an awareness of what is actually going on instead of spin.

Indeed it does. We see the demonic making great strides the more diverse we become.
"If someone believes that I am to be held accountable morally for what is on this site, then I hate to disappoint but that is not going to happen."
Sotto Voce, how can you say this. The only possible way you can make such a claim is to assume that you as a person believe that you are not accountable to God for your actions and their affects. Have you lost your faith or am I missing something here?
You never answered my question regarding your state. Are you are Roman Catholic priest?
My reply to your posting Father is God Bless You for highlighting all that is wrong within our Church as well as all that is good. We don't want just the spin that comes from those on high in the ranks - the typical smokescreen and plastering over the cracks. Members of the Church deserve to get the whole story the good and the bad (and maybe even sometimes the downright ugly). You created this site for that reason and you have kept your word and done what you set out to do. It is the one place where we as members of the Church can bring to the attention of others what is happening within our own Parishes be it good or bad and it is nice to know that instead of the usual spin as you call it that you get in the Parish Newsletter and on the Parish Website there is always a lot more going on that the members never get to hear because it has been 'cleaned up' before filtering through for public consumption and facts changed and rearranged so that the clergy come out mostly smelling of roses regardless of the turmoil they have caused in their area.
To conclude again God Bless You for publishing so much and it goes to show by the number of visitors that we out here come back as often as we can to get the full story and make up our own minds about things rather than being given the watered down version via our Clergy.
Keep up the wonderful work you are doing.
Hey there Sotto Voce!
Keep up the great work you're doing! Your detractors can go someplace else to get their needs met. As for your moral integrity, one only has to re-read your past personal posts to know your struggles. God calls the struggling and the weak, not the self righteous. Thanks for being a cyberspace wounded healer. Rob
Jezz what a bunch of idiots you are getting sucked in by a blog idol. It wouldn't surprise me if half this stuff isn't coming out from the national Assylum there in Dundrum. The guys are either;
A:- Fantasist
B:- Bonkers
C:- Schizophrenic
D:- Dullusional
I'll go for E:- All of Them.
It doesn't stack no matter how you read it. My guess is he's a bit like Octuplets - 8 persons in the one Womb. hahahaha It's just rare to find 4 idiots in the same frame of mind.
Today Matthew....(drum roll) I'm going to be Pope John the 29th!!!
It's web world, where people are anything they want to be.. it's the spiritual homeland for the psychotic.
The old and drooling tend to forget the laws of internet - no offence Ma Tucker.
