I deeply regret having to post this , but for some strange reason, or perhaps, people we are bombarded with Catholic stuff. As a Catholic, wanting to read news I regret those postings and think they belong elsewhere, perhaps the Catholic site. There have been so many Catholic postings that have no relevance to "NEWS" that it is irresponsible to call this a news site. I ask Mr. Robinson to channel these postings to a new Catholic location and let the news run

Thank you.

Look on the right side of your screen, click on the “News/Activism” link. Be happy.

I totally agree. I just ignore them but they are omnipresent.

You signed up in 1999 just to post this rant?

I only see it if I read the ‘Religion’ section.

I’m not Catholic and I enjoy them because I learn things I didn’t know otherwise.

That’s why I’m on so many Catholic pinglists.

Just change your bookmark to news and you can ignore the Religion forum posts altogether.

I have a feeling if the PTBs didn’t want religion posts, they wouldn’t have made a religion category.

They are, for the most part, on the Religion Forum. If you click on News/Activism right after you come on the site, you won’t see them at all ...

I’m not Catholic and they really don’t bother me (usually).

If you don’t like the link don’t click on it.
Also this belongs in “personal” not “News/Activism”.

Are dogs OK with being on a lease? I was going to post a new article on this over the weekend. Maybe I still will but for now, I'll post it here. I can't help but think that dogs are humiliated being on a lease. Yet my dog seems so happy to be on one when we go for a walk. Perhaps that dog thinks that it is I that is on a lease and that the dog is actually taking ME for a walk.

That thought comforts me in a strange kind of way.

You have to learn to give a little and take a little.

As others have already said, you can change your settings so you won’t see most of the religious items.

But occasionally, religion gets into the news, and occasionally religion is relevant in speaking about news items.

But, to repeat, give a little & take a little. If we all could veto things we didn’t like, soon there would be nothing left.

I am not opposed to your prostilazion ....

Catholics don't prostilaze, they only pontificate.

Hey, I'm a proddy, and though I have noticed what seems to be an over abundance of Catholic threads lately, BUTT I will back the Catholics right to post them.

People have the right to post what they want, as long as its within tasteful norms.

Thats what makes us better than the pagans over at DU. They don't like it, they shut it down.

Here, don't read them.

Yes, we have to be aware that others read our sight, and thus be cautious how we post. But censorship of religion, beyond current guidelines would be bad. It would smack of political correctness.

(Yes I spelled it BUTT ;^)

I’m Catholic and have no problem here. Why don’t you just bypass the topics that you don’t like as most people do.
