New forum for monarchists

[royalcello]

I was reflecting on some of the recent discussions here, and while I remain committed to the idea that monarchy is the form of government that it makes the most sense for Catholics to advocate, it is true that discussion of monarchy is not the main purpose of Vox's excellent site.

Therefore, I would like to announce the birth of a new forum which will be explicitly devoted to discussion of monarchy, the Monarchy Forum:

http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/mb/royalcello

While traditional Catholics are most welcome, and may in fact end up comprising the majority of participants, this forum will not be explicitly Catholic.  Those of you here who do share my commitment to monarchism, please check it out and consider joining!  I hope to see you there.

While I have no intention of abandoning Fisheaters if this project is successful, perhaps I'll feel less of a need to annoy the non-monarchists here.  ;)

Wanted to check it out.  But it says I need a username and password.  How do I get one?

[royalcello]

Register just like you did for this site---it should be the same.

[miss_fluffy]

The link provided has no option for registering.  Only for signing in.

Hmm, when I logged out I saw the "Register" link right next to "Log in."  ?

[miss_fluffy]

okay, weird.  I had to hit logout, then it took me to the forum where I had the register option? 

[royalcello]

Maybe that has something to do with the fact that I'm using the same host as Fisheaters?

RC: I have a question that I hope is not too impertinent: Do you expect to modify your views on monarchy if you join the Roman Catholic Church?

 

I really do think that your protestant Anglican background seriously influences your views. They are less consistently Catholic than ours so therefore they are different. When Anglicans embrace Catholicism they change in many areas. It would be interesting as a matter of fact to hear from a convert from Anglicanism on this subject.

 

Anyone?

It may interest you to know that one of the Saints to whom I consistently pray is Saint Margaret Clitherow.

No, I don't see why I would have to, since I know traditional Catholics on this forum and elsewhere who agree with me.  I am convinced that my support of the British monarchy is compatible with Catholicism--and in fact obligatory for any Catholic living in Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, or the other countries of which the British monarch is head of state.

What "protestant Anglican background"?  I have never been a Protestant or an Anglican or any other type of Christian.  I was brought up Unitarian Universalist but rejected that for a variety of reasons.  It is pretty clear to me that if Christianity is true, the Roman Catholic Church has to be the true church.  The obstacles to my conversion lie with Christianity and faith in general, not with the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism, regarding which I am already in the former camp.  Hope that clears things up.
