There's no reason not to include non-Catholics

As long as it doesn't get like "The Never Ending Story" thread. I helped start and stuck with the first 50 threads. The thread began when the Baptists dropped out of ecumenical talks with the RC Church. I changed the name of the thread to Never Ending Story to prove that the talks really never ended. I think their up to thread 150+

I didn't like the ridicule and anti-Catholic rhetoric, so like many Catholics, left the thread. Fundamentalist denial of historically empirical truths made the dialog so onesided and subjective that it was far from ecumenical and IMO, a waste of energy.

I needed to get that off my chest. Mea Culpa!!!

Sometimes I'm gung ho. And other times I'm not up for it. My rule of thumb is, if my heart's not into it, don't do it.

But I'm sure that all of our contributions make a difference, although we'll never know how.

We would've hit 200 easy, but then came the new format. Oh, well ...

Hi Just found this. I just want to share this with you. I have been reading Thomas Reeves biography of Bishop Sheen America's Bishop and Reeves shows where all the bile comes from. We get it from left and right, from the Liberals and from the Fundies because they are afraid of us.

I am a native Texan now living in the DFW area, where the Catholic population is now starting to exceed that of the Baptists because of northern and Tejano/Mexican in-migration.
