“My inclination, as with other things, would be to make these discussions [OPEN] threads (as per the RM guidance on the subject).”
It’s difficult to have deep discussions of theological topics once the anti-Catholics show up. Their... “input” - such as it is - tends to keep the discussions trivial and shallow. As well, the vain repetitions of anti-Catholic mantras make it difficult to move through threads, as often, one must scroll through many screenfuls of sewage before finding the lone, occasional nugget of worthwhile posting.
The difficulty is that the forum’s rules permit bad posting to drive out good, and for “Open” threads to essentially turn into “Open Sewer” threads.

I agree. The proposal would interest me very much, as I’ve already indicated, but I, too, don’t want to wade through the inevitable, repetitive and tiresome talking points and herd-pinging.
