...but so many have left Free Republic because they don't want to "walk away." They like discoursing about faith, and quite possibly, have nothing else to do with their day (i.e. no job, no family that needs caring for, they are disabled, their spouse has passed on, they are retired and maybe lonely, not well, etc. and so on)

Surely God has some other purpose for these RC souls who have departed FR and taken their donations to FR with them. You are implying that posting to other like-minded Catholics was the only reason they were FReepers at all. You cannot know this was always the case with every one of the FR-departed souls.

You seem to have confused Internet forum discourse with getting your own way always.

Many who have left [please read the thread] were of different faiths; not RCs. Maybe you should know that I was a Missouri Synod Lutheran for 33 years, and my best friend [in the area] is still my Sunday School teacher. She was the only one who was around to teach me about Jesus. My closest Catholic friend lives in Malta; God love them both.
