Isn’t Catholic bashing what you guys are all about? All of FR is the Protestant caucus. I call it apologetics.
By the way some of you guys react, anything that disputes Catholic Church teaching is seen as "bashing". Y'all should learn to tell the difference. Here's a little tip: if it's "apologetics" and your reasoning is sound, you won't have to refer to the opposing side in insulting and personal terms. Only when a person is unable to give a sound answer in return, and he/she is a "sore loser", is he unable to resist throwing personal jabs and global recriminations.
I know you are new here, so perhaps you haven't realized this yet, but there are many very learned and knowledgeable folks on this site and some find it hard to suffer fools gladly. A person's motivation can usually be seen by the way they respond, who they respond to and what articles they post. Just be aware of this and post accordingly. You can't "get away with" much here.
And, no, all of Free Republic is NOT a Protestant caucus. If you looked at all the religion forum threads on any given day, the majority are Catholic-based. You have just been fortunate enough to experience the unashamedly and unaplogetically NON-Catholic contingent here and we hate to let false statements get by without at least a response. What you see as a monopoly, is just a strong, Christ-centered, Christ-loving and Gospel preaching group that seeks to honor and glorify God and unafraid to speak the truth.
