Regulations:
6. Please don't press
the "Enter Chat" button if you do not agree to the policy of
this website. It is your responsibility to read the rules
and disclaimers of the chat and website before you enter and
use it. If there have ever been any disgruntled people after

they have not read and understood the rules and regulations
that govern it. Placement of rules such as the ones below
are necessary for interactive websites such as
Churchbulletin.com. Thank you for reading.
7.
Churchbulletin.com's Chat is a Catholic text and possibly in
the future at any unannounced time be also a voice chat with
a Catholic agenda. The format is designed for developing
friendships and support for Catholics, members of RCIA
programs, and non-catholics who wish to gather with the
Catholic community in a spirit of charity and truth. This
chat is not for the propagation or exhibition of behaviors
of groups, religions, or individuals not in communion with
the Catholic Church and its rules on life and morality. This chat is
not an open debate forum for non-Catholic agendas, or
alleged mystics looking for attention. It is
impossible for the people in the chat and the webmaster to
make judgments on mystics.
8. This is not
to say though that you may not talk about mysterious/mystical/unexplainable phenomenon
that has occurred in your life as it is natural in a
Catholic's life to receive very tangible moments of "actual
grace".
9. You may
always share about approved mystical phenomena such as
Fatima, The Divine Mercy, St. Joseph of Cupertino's
levitations, the incorrupt bodies of the Saints and other
such things which have been recognized or approved. Alleged
apparitions and such may be discussed; however, only if they
are vital to the conversation in the Catholic Chat room.
10. You
may not solicit any members in chat to provide donations to
your organizations and projects-Catholic, Non-Catholic, or
Secular. This gets difficult and puts even the well
intentioned organization, who is soliciting donations, in a
spot of chatting at Churchbulletin.com only to ask for money
or to sell his/her/their product. There are other
catholic websites to advertise at. Churchbulletin.com
doesn't really advertise either as it is very difficult to
manage those types of things.
11. When using
chat, you agree to use your first name and the Country you
live in. Monitors will ask you to type in the appropriate
information in chat in the event you forget to do so.
Monitors will kick your name out until you respond.
12.
Churchbulletin.com is not responsible for comments you make
