Please ping to those who might be interested.
Catholic ping!
I think people should flag their personally-written articles as vanities.
Just sayin’ -
Do vanity posts normally take 10 hours to research and include copiuous footnotes?
Just askin’...
Copious. And the amount of effort isn’t relevant ... my teenagers put at least that much into a research report, but it would still be a vanity if I posted them on FR.
[but] We haven't changed and we cannot change. We stand firmly for the truth. And we do not budge in our holding of the truth. And in due time the Church will reform. The day that we no longer hold the truth is the day that the grace of God will abandon us, and the day that we need to be abandoned. But as long as we hold the truth God will bless us."
*Shaking in my shoes*............
Could you perhaps, be mixing your "singulars" and "plurals" here??
Perhaps it might be an improvement to write:
my teenagers put at least that much into research reports, but they would still be vanities if I posted them on FR.
OR
my teenagers put at least that much into a research report, but it would still be a vanity if I posted it on FR.
*Ducking for cover*........
I’d post my teenagers on FR, if I thought someone would give them a job!
We’re having a problem with pronouns in our family right now. My 3rd and 4th sons keep changing numbers and genders. “We can’t eat vegetables!” says Pat, who lives on the pictures in the cookbooks. “James can jump on the sofa whenever she wants to!” says James, who spent the last twelve months as a plural ...
I guess it depends if your teenagers’ work can be published regularly in established media outlets—both online and print.
By the way, Marsh, the Pope freed the Mass. I guess you’ll have to change your tune now. It will will really be interesting when the SSPX excommunications are lifted.
You and Black Elk and other might have kiniption fits. At the most, you won’t have much to write about anymore...
How is this a “vanity”? Mershon is an established journalist and Renew America is an Internet publication like any other — better than most, in fact.

Excellent article!!! Thanks.
I’m glad you liked that. I have that on DVD as well. :-)
Oh yeah.......we're heartbroken.
Click on my name and "Find in Forum" and see how much I've written recently. There's plenty to write about and none of it involves SSPX. I hope it stays that way. Most of my contributions to this forum involve apologetics with non-Catholics, an area from which you are conspicuously absent.
Your only appearances around here are for the purposes of posting your own articles, which are invariably about one and only one subject; SSPX. That's pretty lame, if you don't mind me saying so.
Who is it that's obsessed, again?
I'm entirely delighted about the recent motu proprio and will happily welcome all SSPXers with open arms should the excommunications be lifted and they cease their virulent criticisms of the Pope. The former (Latin Mass) was never an issue for me but the latter (trashing the Pope) was and still is. Ironically, it will be your one and only source of journalistic material which will evaporate, not mine:-)
By the way, Tax-chick was correct. This is a vanity. You also qualify for the "shameless self-promotion" award for your constant hawking of your own pieces around here. It's clear you have a desperate need to be considered a contributor of gravitas by your Freeper peers on the SSPX issue. So we get this piece about "Fr. Newman". Forgive me, but I've never heard of him. I think you'll find there's little heat or mileage in this topic. The whole piece reads like you're trying to stir up a controversy.
*Shrug*.......sorry to disappoint you.
“Conniption.”
That was funny! Of course, a crowd turned up when they heard the music, but I shooed her off :-).
