My problem isn’t so much with the “Catholic-centric” posts... it is the “Catholic Caucus” exclusive club that dominates the religion forum. This basically gives those who use that a free pass to post whatever they like without having anyone debate or question them.
I am probably one of the reasons posts started wearing the [ORTHODOX/CATHOLIC CAUCUS] badges that gives them immunity from questions (even legitimate and sincere).
I am thinking hard about posting something and using the [Reformed/Biblical Christianity] badge... but that would probably get me booted permanently from FR...
After reading about a martyred saint the other day (Maximilian Kolbe, who gave his life for another and was murdered in Aushwitz), I was so deeply moved that I actually seconded a prayer that was posted regarding him.
That's right, in effect, I offered a prayer.
My bad - wham, I was notified that posting was limited to Caucus members only. Though after awhile, it was grudgingly allowed that a prayer was okay. Nevertheless, it was clearly an issue that demanded immediate clarification.
I was disgusted - revolted, even. I wonder if Father Kolbe asked the Caucus affiliation of the man he exchanged his life for, before he spoke up to the Commandant of the death camp.
And this on the Religion forum, no less.
