| Below is a list of e-mails we will not reply
to |
- Questioners that want us to:
- do their homework
- take their test/quiz
- do research
for their High School and [College|University]
term papers and similar questions.
Teachers give out homework FOR
YOU do to, NOT US.
You will not receive a reply
to your e-mail.
|
- Questions that can be answered:
- by the natural law
(that's that law inside of our conscience, that tells us what is right and wrong.)
- by your parents, the primary educator of some ones faith, or
- by going to your own (pastor or parish priests):
- for advice and guidance in Confession, or
- for any issues related to the morality of any medical issues you may have.
None of us are priests, counselors, or medical doctors and addressing these issues with them will allow you to address any nuances, in specific situations, you may have forgotten to mentioned to us in your initial question to us as well as any follow-up questions.
|
- Questions that can be answered with your own efforts.
On occasion, we will provide the reading resources for answers (like the Catechism of the Catholic Church) for our questioner to study and research (using their own time) but instead they return to ask us additional questions which they can find:
- using the previous resources we have provided and
- there own time and effort.
We are here to evangelize, defend, and clarify the faith but you guys have to use your God-given abilities as well and utilize the resources we have given you for present and future questions!
|
- If what you are looking for is a web site where you can send an e-mail with:
- no question about the Catholic faith but just a personal statement of faith or belief.
- no question about the Catholic faith but is rather a sermon or religious, secular or political commentary.
- no question about the Catholic faith but with content that tries to bait us into replying to non-Catholic views.
This is
not the place.
|
- If what you are looking for is a web site where you can get involved in non-ending debates (that especially give you the opportunity to mock others faiths in a disrespectful manner.)
This is not a debate web site.
This is
not the place.
|
- Buckshot
e-mails will be ignored. What
is buckshot e-mail?
They are e-mails
with about 25 to 35 questions in
them and by the tone of each question,
one can tell the questioner has
no interest in finding out what Catholics
believe and why, but are just interested
in attacking a church (in their mind)
that doesn't exist.
|
- If
what you are looking for is a web site where
you can get into long unending e-mail
dialogues to justify the dissent
from the Church or sinful behavior.
This is
not the place.
|
- If
what you are looking for is a web site where
you can:
- get an
initial answer from us that you
disagree with then
- come back
every week with a "I'VE GOT
YOU" question on
a perpetual basis.
This
is not the place.
|
- If you consider
yourself a Catholic, but:
- don't believe
in the validity of the Ordo Mass
- believe
the Catechism has errors
- believe
we have not had a true pope since
Vatican II
Don't
waste our time trying to convince us, you
are Catholic, when you are a Protestant
who dissents from KEY Teachings of
the Church.
This is
not the place.
We welcome
those who know nothing about the
Catholic faith OR know nothing about
Christianity, itself, but expect
sincerity and courtesy in every [question
and reply] as we dialogue.
|
- We
do not accept inappropriate language like these questioners
sent us:
More than
one-half the population of this
earth are women. Most still exist
under the "feet" of
'brain-dead' men who believe themselves
to be gods.
You
SHOULD BE aware that Holy Scriptures
are FULL of sexist passages.
Until this is CORRECTED; the
Scriptures are "suspect."
|
We volunteer
to help people find understanding
about our Lord Jesus Christ and His
Catholic Church.
We believe that
anyone can enter into a relationship
with God through Christ, and become
a believing member of His Church.
We're happy to help people, Catholic
and non-Catholic alike, understand
the Church better but expect any question to be asked with sincerity and honesty. We receive
a lot
of e-mail from people who want to
find out what the Catholic Church
teaches.
On the other hand, some messages
only express criticisms and don't
show any interest in getting information.
We do want to let critics know that
we recognize their feelings and we
wish those people all the best.
If
we can help in the future sometime,
we're open to friendly questions,
even from people who don't agree
with us. Of course, sometimes the
best answer we can give is to refer
a questioner to other resources,
such as books and other web sites,
or their local parish.
