Just switch out the RC for another denomination...say...Pentecostal...and see how well it goes over. :)
I am not going to take your suggestion to substitute another religion or denomination because I don't want to be insulting, insensitive or banned.
I have tried to make it known to the Religion Moderator that the term "RC" is a very derogatory and insultimg term for Roman Catholics on par with the "N" word, but have not gotten any acknowledgment or response other than expect to be insulted in an open forum.
The history of it is deeply seated in British (Protestant) oppression of Scotland, Ireland and its own Catholic population. Its use was made popular because of its similar pronunciation to the word "arse" and the two were (are) used interchangeably. Is it "potty language"? - YES. Is it personally insulting? - YES. Is it acceptable on FR - YES, as long as the precedent is limited to "RCs".
Hey, Pentecostals have been the major whipping post around these and other parts for decades.
Our thick skins are in good practice.
Don’t know why it seems like so many RC’s have genetically thin skins. One of those things, I guess.
. . . mabye because they are so used to being IN CONTROL as a major theme of the Institution??? Interesting psychological, sociological question.
