If you (plural) can't handle Catholic input when you (plural) slander the church, or if you (plural) are too thin-skinned to get on the open threads, then just stick to the caucus or ecumenical threads. That way, you (plural) won't feel so "soiled."
Otherwise, open threads are the town square. Within the rules of the RF, anyone is free to post. Here's an idea: why not ask Christ Jesus to protect you (plural) from any stain of Catholic thought, so that you (plural) can feel more pure? I'm sure if we are so evil, He will do exactly that.
It is the blasphemy that I can't handle.
You're not evil, but your doctrine is.
Judith,
I didnt see any slander of the RCC on here. The argument revolves around the theology of the RCC. One of the major arguments is the importance of Mary, in relation to scripture and her elevation and ability to intercede to the Lord on a sinners behalf. Catholics seem to want it both ways, they claim that they dont “worship” Mary, but why then are their statues of her outside of RC Churches, why the shrines to her in the yards of many RC homes, and why the prayers directed to her in the rosary?
