| Name: | Catholic Discussion Community | |
| About: | This is a community for and about Catholics. Most of the topics pertain to those churches in Full Communion with Rome; however, discussions involving other branches of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church are more than welcome. This is an open-membership community. You don't have to be Catholic to join or participate. In fact, many of the most frequent and thoughtful contributors aren't! Anyone with something respectful to say is welcome to join. Although the moderators prefer to take a "hands-off" approach to moderation, there are a few things you should know. All persons who post and comment are expected to maintain a respectful attitude and any post or comment which is a "flame" or otherwise offensive may be subject to immediate deletion. All contributors to the community are urged to carefully and prayerfully consider their words prior to hitting the "submit" button. Also, you may wish to keep in mind that the attitude in this community is very pro-Catholic. If such an environment may make you uncomfortable, it's recommended that you monitor the community for a while before actually joining. Anything relating to Catholicism is fair game for discussion in here -- beliefs, practices, culture, theology and anything else related to Catholicism. Off-topic posts are also permitted, but should be kept to a minimum. For the record, the moderators will consider things very carefully before stepping in and donning their moderator's hats. In the spirit of genuine communication, debates are allowed go to a point that is, in our opinion, pretty far afield before putting a stop to them. However, there are some things which will not be permitted in this community:
Long posts should also, as a matter of courtesy, make use of the lj-cut tag. Any post containing graphics should put them behind a cut. Instructions for using this feature are located at http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=75. We would also prefer that posts concerning strictly local matters and events be kept to a minimum, simply because this isn't a local forum and because we don't want the volume to increase to the point that people start dropping the community for that purpose. This is a general forum and not necessarily the best place for advanced theology and apologetics; if someone is looking for a more advanced group of people there are any number of other communities that are much more technical than this one. This is also not an appropriate place to frequently post meditations, quotes and the like; again, there are other places for that. What we're after here is intelligent debate on a popular level, support for Catholics, practical day-to-day conversation about living the faith, and so forth. The majority of community members (though certainly not all!) are in Full Communion with Rome and posters are urged to keep this in mind. Most of us have also experienced anti-Catholicism in some form or another and consider this forum a "safe place" to be away from that type of prejudice. We do reserve the right to delete posts and comments (both actions have been taken before) and to ban someone if no other sanction will address a situation. At the same time, we are reluctant to use these quickly and will not do so without attempts to resolve things at a lower level of intervention. Additionally, one of the primary goals of this community is discussion, therefore posts with disabled comments will be deleted. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact one of the moderators: ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} sonria, holyoffice or catdraco.Please also check out these wonderful communities about our faith. (If you have one or know one that you think should be on this list please e-mail one of the moderators.): | |
