SHJIHM :: Announcements :: Forum Rules 1.5 ~ Runboard
"There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church, which is, of course, quite a different thing." -Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Placating terrorists, meeting with dictators, compassion for murderers... but no humanity for the unborn... incredible.
OOT
Forum Rules 1.5 Please keep in mind that SHJIHM is a Catholic Christian board. The Catholic Church is comprised of all Christians and churches who are united in full communion with His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI. SHJIHM is a place where all Christians can discuss and share their faith with each other.
It is our hope that through dialog, those who agree, those who disagree, and those who struggle can learn from each other and grow to better understand the truths of our beautiful faith.
Non-Catholics are also welcome to join us in fellowship. They are encouraged to ask questions. However, they are not allowed to give advice, or advocate positions, which run contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Debate among Catholic brothers and sisters is of course allowed and encouraged as long as it is done respectfully.
Active Promotion of views contrary to the teachings of the Church will not be allowed.
Due charity and respect must be shown to those of other faiths. Disagreement with other belief systems is to be expressed in a charitable manner.
There is to be no irrational liturgical prejudice. Whether a person attends the Ordinary or Extraordinary use of the Latin Mass, or an Eastern Rite Divine Liturgy, their liturgy must be acknowledged as fully Catholic and of equal dignity with all other Catholic rites. However, liturgical preferences may be expressed, but only in a charitable manner.
I would like to focus on God's Words......
MARK
37 John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.
38 But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.
39 For he that is not against you, is for you.
40 For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
Christians may disagree on fundamentals, but we all accept Jesus as the Christ. We are ALL one family in Christ. You are my brothers and my sisters. Welcome to SHJIHM.

This is Griffin (formerly known as griffiandsabine22 on the POTC board. I changed my nickname because I kept getting mistaken for a girl. I also see that there is a chaosgriffin here, that might confuse people even more.
I have a tiny beef about the "No arguing" clause - does this mean we will all just agree with each other?
Re: SOME RULES TO FOLLOW :) Here at SHJIHM, the following will NOT be tolerated:
Spamming of any kind
Flaming
Arguing
Name calling
Foul language
I don't think SHJIHM meant arguing as in giving reasons for or against something. I think he meant heated disputes (as I think "arguing" sounds sort of negative, even though it inherently isn't). As I see it, he just wants a peaceful forum in which everyone can express their ideas (albeit in a respectful manner) without being verbally abused.

Hello Gryfon, welcome to SHJIHM. Thanks for posting your concerns regarding the rules. As Chaosgriffon has said, arguing to the point of a heated dispute is what will not be allowed. Heated disputes always end in disaster and are just plain ugly. If you do not agree with something, you are more than welcome to share your thoughts on why you do not agree. I want everyone to feel comfortable enough to share their faith without worrying about being abused as we see all to often in at TPOTC forum.
I will make an adjustment to the rules to hopefully clear up any confusion
Thanks for joining, and once again, welcome to SHJIHM.
Thanks Brian for responding as well.
