imo people are labelled falsely as “anti-Catholic” by defenders of the Church to silence people and avoid answering legitimate questions truthfully....and these threads frequently attests to that.
caww dear. when people are labeled as “anti-Catholic by defenders of the Church, it is not to silence them (unless they are too thin-skinned for open threads, or to avoid answering “legitimate questions truthfully, such as the ubiquitous “Why do you worship Mary?” question. These threads frequently attest to the anti-Catholic bigotry found on all the open threads of FR. If you have a problem with the label, look in the mirror.
It is either "anti-catholic" or "bigot" ...your church leaders seem to indicate those who appear as anti-catholic are simply being bigots. Which bigots have their time and place in the course of discussions...it's not a bad thing.
