The way the lead article started out, it was going to be a good read on comparative religions, until I came to this:
“By Catholic standards, the religions of the world can be ranked by how much truth they teach. Catholicism is first...”
I didn’t read any further, just another back handed attempt by Papists pushing their “all you non-Catholic Christians bow down in subservience to the Pope now...and Mary too while you are at it. The RCC is the only true church, blah, blah, blah.” Catholicism ranked first by how much truth it preaches? Truth, my eye.
A FReeper on another thread in the general section, noted that FR seems to be a politically conservative Catholic site. I agreed with him. Maybe not officially so, but it is definitely flooded with Papist pushing threads like this one.
FReepers who are conservative but not Papists wish things were a little more even handed around here.
hehe
Yes, the FR Religion Forum is mostly Catholic spam bandwidthwise.
But a few things I’ve learned:
No one speaks for the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church takes definitive stands on all sorts of issues, but no one can say exactly what those stands are.
and
Anyone Catholic who disagrees with any particular Catholic FReeper’s assertions is poorly catechized.
It’s a statement of fact, “BY CATHOLIC STANDARDS”, Kreeft is a Catholic, so he’s going to speak by and for Catholics.
