Charter: annexcafe.religion.catholic.perspectives is a moderated newsgroup for the discussion of all things theological, including theory, traditions, innovations, questions, study, and practice related to Catholicism or perspectives thereof. There are no restrictions regarding methods, quotation of scripture or relevant philosophy.

Submission Rules: This group is intended specifically as a forum for Catholics and people who would like to see views and
discussion from a catholic perspective. It is open to all people of all faiths or lack thereof. There will be no bashing, joking, or
mocking of other faiths. If you are uncertain about what is acceptable after reading this post, please refer to annexcafe.announcements or contact me, Todd E. Te822@hotmail.com.

The moderators reserve the right to prohibit access from posters in habitual violation of the rules. We define "habitual violation" to be no fewer than three disallowed (as outlined below) posts, submitted within thirty days or less. Abusive email sent to moderators will also result in the sender's exclusion from the newsgroup, as well as possible actions taken by his or her ISP to terminate his or her account.

The following types of posts are not allowed:

1) Posts containing binary files, with the exception of PGP keys (or similar schemes). Binaries should be posted in the appropriate binary group with appropriate pointers.
2) Crossposts to more than two groups, to groups unrelated to the topic, or to other moderated groups.
3) Commercial advertisements and solicitations (more specifically, Spam) except identification in signature lines, or legitimate conference, book, publications, and educational courses notifications.
4) Non-English language posts (without translation), posts with signature lines exceeding the USENet recommended five lines, or posts which the moderators deem to be incoherent.
5) Posts that violate copyright. You must own the copyright, or have permission to use copyrighted materials that do not originate from USENet. Only short excerpts from copyrighted materials are allowed under "fair use", with full author and publisher credits.
6) Previously composed articles that have already been posted within the last month. You may post pointers to articles response to requests, or offer to send articles via email.
7) All personal attacks, abuse, and flames, including those based on religon. Claims of divine, ideological, or systemical sovereignty, or other forms of provocation, are also prohibited. (Flaming is here defined as abuse, insults, harassment, and suggestive slurs. Provocation is here defined as content primarily intended to incite aggravation, indignation, or outrage. All of the preceding is subject to the judgment of the moderators.)
8) Posts skeptical of the general validity of the original intentions of this newsgroup, which are more properly posted to ethics, philosophy, or other similar newsgroups.
9) Comments pertaining to moderation policy or performance.
Questions, comments, or complaints regarding moderation policies or performance must be mailed directly to te822@hotmail.com or to NewsAdmin@annexcafe.com

Complaints will be dealt with as promptly as schedules permit, usually within a day or two. Abuse of moderators, either in posts submitted to this newsgroup, or in email, is strictly prohibited. Abusive mail can and will be used as grounds for imposing bans. See rules 7a,for the current overview of what is here considered abuse.

On-topic posts include discussions of spiritual uplifting, affirmations, and perspectives as they may relate to others of the
Catholic faith. Applications, including history, traditions, and relevant interpretations. Questions from visitors and newcomers
are welcome, along with requests for religious catholic perspectives with a humanistic touch. Not laic, but real-time and helpful content.

The server, the newsgroup, and we (the moderators) are not responsible for the opinions and advice which other posters offer on the newsgroup, whether those opinions be offered by lay people or the clergy.

Additionally welcome are posts pertaining, and related, to the field of religion, such as ethics, counseling, psychology, mythology, history, spirituality, education, and scriptural interpretations. Although this is a mildly moderated group, moderators
will not attempt to inhibit the free flow of ideas or self expression posted in accordance with the rules. This forum expects, and
accepts, the civil expression of disagreements and criticisms pertaining to interpretations, theories, and ideas encountered both here, in the posts of others, and in materials published elsewhere.
