This is an "open" thread in the Religion Forum meaning posters may argue for and against dieties, beliefs, religious authorities, etc. It is a town square and therefore often contentious.

If you or marshmallow would like a private Catholic-only thread, then find a similar article that doesn't mention other beliefs and label it "Catholic Caucus."

If you want anyone to be able to post, but you don't want antagonism, label it "ecumenical."

Thick skin is required for the town square format of "open" religious debate. Those who are offended by that style of debate should IGNORE "open" RF threads altogether and instead post on "ecumenical" "Caucus" "prayer" or "devotional" RF threads.

There was no mention of other beliefs.

Religion Moderator:

The mention of the word “Protestant” by definition means this can’t be labeled a caucus thread, even if no Protestant practices were specifically mentioned.

I made a suggestion to marshmallow that perhaps the thread should have been labeled caucus and that seemed to cause a free for all, which was not my intent.

So what are the precise guidelines for open vs. caucus threads?
