As some people know, I am home from seminary for Christmas break and I have spent a lot of time online. I usually try to evangelize and spread the Gospel on forums and sites like Yahoo Answers and Askville. However, it is becoming more and more clear to me that the Internet is in disarray. Is this the time of the Great Apostacy? Ever site that I use I will either encounter pagans, Wiccans, Muslims, or atheists attacking Christianity. If not them, then I encounter Protestants, usually evangelicals and fundamentalists, who are so anti-Catholic that it is sickening. Much of the reason that there is a poor opinion by atheists of Christianity is based upon their encounters with Protestants. It all very sad and distressing.
I occasionally post on Phatmass and they have a Crusade. It is an organized project where several members work together (it is in a locked forum) and coordinate efforts to evangelize the Internet. They may have a four specific forms to evangelize and have 6 people working on each one. Do you think that sometime, even in the future, Fish Eaters could do this? I love this forum - it is a relief in the midst of a desert. This is my oasis. I am thankful for this forum and I think that we could not only evangelize non-believers but help spread the truth about modernism to fellow Catholics.
Any opinions on this idea?
PS: Please realize that this is not a full-time responsibility. I also have a lot of obligations (seminary, college classes, family life, etc). For those that are interested, I am just asking for a commitment to help whenever possible.
If you are interested in doing this, please let me know and comment below. We need as many people as possible before we split up into squads.

One opinon. I would like to see US debate THEM. And if they ever had to debate one of our well versed trad priests at our chapel,well,the floor would be covered in sawdust from all their head-scratching.
I think you will make an excellent priest. Stay strong.

Have you read this Seminarian_Matthew?: http://www.fisheaters.com/evangelize.htmlIt's got some good places to start. Getting a group together to start doing some of those things would defintely probably do some good. |

"We have to build, while the others are demolishing. The crumbled citadels have to be rebuilt, the bastions of Faith have to be reconstructed; firstly the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass of all times, which forms saints; then our chapels, monasteries, our large families, our enterprises faithful to the social politics of the Church, our politicians determined to make the politics of Jesus Christ - this is a whole fiber of Christian social life, Christian customs, Christian reflexes, which we have to restore."
- His Grace Archbishop Lefebvre
"It is absurd, and a detestable shame, that we should suffer those traditions to be changed which we have received from the fathers of old."
- St. Thomas Aquinas

I would definitely like to get a group together to help evangelize the Net if people are interested. |

Lent is a month off.That might be a good starting time goal. That would be a great additional penance for Lent - Internet evangelization. Good idea. Now, first I would need to see how many people are interested. If at least five people are interested, then I think that we could form a group. Afterwards, I would need suggestions of Internet forums/boards/websites that could be helped. Of course some Internet locations would be a waste of time because the people do not seek the Truth; they prefer the darkness to the light. But I do believe that there would be many good forums/boards/blogs/etc to evangelize. I see several that were part of Phatmass's crusades that could definitely still use the evangelization. |

I would definitely like to get a group together to help evangelize the Net if people are interested. First begin by seeing who would be interested then choose a leader. Once you do these two steps you will have something to work with. I'm in by the way, I'm ill at the moment so plenty of time on my hands might as well make use of it. |

Yes,and I know several excellent trad priests,who when I tell them,I am sure they will help with any answers to tough questions. I can call them. I think you need a lot more than 5. And may I suggest a novena to help with the sucess. Pray before the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration.
I dont know if a leader is needed,I mean if someone asks a question,do you go to the leader for the answer?
And I am not good with all the latest computer tech,But I have a friend who can show me what I need to know,if anything.
