In the past year or so, people have sent me more and more tweets that I can’t read directly because I’m blocked. The trouble is, these blockers are often people I’ve never interacted with on Twitter. Often, I don’t even know who they are.
I don’t really understand blocking, but I’m guessing these pre-emptive blockers are either ‘indignant’ over Canon212 headlines, or they worry – or have been warned, they might become one themselves.
Still, if the latter is the case, I don’t think it speaks well when you courageously profess your resistance to a host of evils,…
but you grow sheepish when it comes to a vague chance of public criticism.
I could almost understand if you’re a raging liberal with whom I’ve never communicated….
or even the more moderated, Bishop Barron sort….
but if you purport to be a Catholic voice, and I’ve never tweeted a word to you at all, perhaps you might ask yourself, “Even in this small way, why am I acting the same as people who are truly enemies of the Church?”
