[Running On Empty]

I have arrived late to the party, but I am making a few contributions of my own to this point in the thread.

I agree with everything you are saying here, nmm.

Every thread posted about a point of interest to Catholics becomes a battle zone unless it’s made a caucus thread or an ecumenical thread; doing that presupposes that Catholics are going to run into a volume of negative, combative posts unless they put up some kind of barrier to the thread. Then, in doing so, they find they can be accused of not wanting to debate in an open thread (”because they have no logical defense for their views”)

This kind of climate makes for a genuine and quite natural way of turning off posters who would like to come to the forum with their genuine interest and concerns.

And bait for those who are looking to slam FR.
Read through some of these threads. Fred Phelps couldn’t do worse.
