Doesn't that tell you that it was Catholic thread for a Catholic audience?

Then take it elsewhere. This is FreeRepublic -- not catholicculture.

As to the posts, observe not only the quantity, but the quality of the anti-Catholic posts. Name-calling;

I've been here for a long time. Many years.
Over the years I've not noticed all that much objection to quantity and "poor quality" of anti-Protestant commentary. Many threads originated by FRomans do appear to be simply that--- anti-Protestant, as are loads of 'comments'.

In fact, that (posting anti-Protestant claims) is often as rewarded and agreed to in "side-bars" -- including some of the very worst of it.

Recently though there has been some uptick of rebuttal threads themselves. If that is not to anyone's liking, then visit the gift shop on the way out the door and pick up some cheese to go with the whine.

"...focusing constantly on chosen verses to justify the un Christian nature of the attitude toward Catholics; the side-bars with private jokes."

Can you tell the difference between scripture passages which can serve as form of check & test in opposition to particular aspects of [Roman] Catholic theological positions, and statements made against 'Catholic' persons themselves?

How about determining the difference between opposing what a person does or says in comparison to a thing being mere insult?

If so, then apply that process as equitably to those whom criticize this or that which may be found within Roman Catholicism as one might to those whom seek to defend Roman Catholicism.

Let us focus one moment upon this one portion of Lumen Gentium;

And just who or what is this "Church" being spoken of -- but from RCC perspective -- itself, chiefly and alone?

The above passage also makes it out to be that *they" are Jesus Himself -- thus God.

Mankind should never take a seat in the Temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

The secularist humanist do that very thing in their own way.

I reject both approaches in that I will follow neither of those ways...

It is simple.

We are not Him, and He is not ourselves, although He can be within ourselves, and ourselves within Himself, by Spirit, the Holy Spirit. John 14

Thank you, good Christian, but I have just as much right to be here as you do. What I was wondering was why people who don't believe in the Communion of Saints felt it necessary to jump on before half a dozen posts. It simply proved what was said in the article: that most non-Catholic Christians don't believe. Why the disruption? You have plenty of anti Catholic fodder to read. But, as always, "Do what thou wilt."
