I do wonder, exactly, what it is about the word CAUCUS that is not understood.

If I may offer my personal opinion. We have had many of these very same posters that are complaining - who object to a universal Protestant Caucus - try to force everyone to identify their denomination. They have also been told many times to stop with the badgering. Yet many continually ask and ask again. I think they want to force revelation of denomination by objecting to a "Protestant Caucus" and breaking it down into individual categories because they seem to be of the opinion that the imaginary 30K denominations could not possibly have any unity at all. I believe they want to try the "divide and conquer" tactic. What they do not realize is that most Protestants - especially on this forum - are in unity over the central tenets of Christian faith and it is upon these beliefs that we can come together without acrimony and discuss various issues. The whole idea is to avoid conflict and that is what a "caucus" designation is supposed to guarantee.

It is humorous that an "Anti-Catholic" caucus was acceptable but not a "Protestant" one. Some have an overload of persecution phobias.

And, THAT is the oddest part of it all. If the caucus designation can't be used to show an "anti-" bias, then it's not acceptable. But "Protestant" is still used as a term of ridicule by the same folks. Sad.

Bottom line. Caucus is caucus.
