Thanks for the ping. I’ve been reading this thread for a while now, wondering if I should post. I’ll take the ping as a sign I should put in a few thoughts.

I don’t understand the reason for objecting to a Caucus thread of any variety. ? Who cares what a bunch of nut-job Protestants do in a caucus thread of their own design? Put another way, the designation “Sola Scriptura Caucus” can only end badly for the Protestants. We know this is a fact! Why give them reason to “team up against the Catholics” by complaining about it and/or posting about it?

We know that, if such a thread is left alone, it will degenerate into the same kind of infighting that brought about the myriad of Protestant denominations we see today. It may not be on one thread, or in a couple threads, but eventually we KNOW that will happen. Why try to stop it; it would be a wonderful example of what we all know to be fact, in action.

Besides, complaining about it makes us look like we ARE seeking to “control the world through the Vatican”. IOW, it only feeds into the rampant paranoia that is the main source of anti-Catholicism around here. I mean, we all know THAT’s a fact; we all know some on here are quite paranoid.

Why feed such a beast?

That’s my two cents. It’s almost Lent though you know? I think the way the RF has been going lately, with all the crazy anti-Pope anti- Catholic threads popping up like the vermin they are, the only way to really “fight” it is to walk away. Like one of those Chinese finger locks you know? The more you fight the more you get stuck?

What would happen to all these disgusting threads if no Catholic posted to them at all? They’d get 50 replies at most and be forgotten almost the same day they were posted. Replying to garbage like that only returns more garbage.

Garbage in garbage out. Let’s take the trash out for Lent (and maybe never take it back in again). I know I sure won’t be wasting my time on bilge like this during my Lenten journey.
