I disagree with you on this. That does not mention any specific belief and clearly is speaking about Protestant and Catholics in name only. A true Protestant can not be Pagan. So actual Protestant beliefs have no bearing on that statement.

A belief is a specific teaching adhered to by a member of a faith community. If it had said that Protestant churches that support abortion are heirs to the pagan cult of Moloch, then yes these people would have the task of making sure that their branch of Protestantism was not grouped in with that claim. Also as I said the article could stand quite well without that part.

So may I assume that it is permissable to go into a thread which is obviously meant to be a peaceful discussion on internal matters and let the participants know they are condemned to hell for their stubborn rejection of Catholicism (not that I actually believe that.)? Or to otherwise disrupt them and attack their beliefs. Even if they make no mention of any specific Catholic teaching?

I do appreciate your patience in replying.

If the Religion Forum thread is not labeled "caucus" "ecumenical" "prayer" or "devotional" then it is "open" by default and you are free to post your condemnations, ridicule, etc.

The RM has graciously derived the

ECUMENICAL THREAD

and the CAUCUS THREAD

designations.

Failure to use them is NOT the RM’s fault.

Wailing and whining after the fact—in large part because of RC CHOICE to NOT use such designations—is childish to the max.
