Oh look, our liturgies (i.e. immutable, utterly impossible to edit) don't fit within your idiosyncratic little "guidelines." They are what they are. It's our RELIGION. This is the RELIGION forum.
You, as always, are quite the piece of work. Now you're down to picking exactly which Catholic Masses are appropriate for Free Republic?
Amazing.
Not sure if you're aware of it, but you (nearly single handedly) have heaped huge amounts of scorn on Free Republic from some very influential circles. I know this FIRST HAND.
And spare everyone the fair-handed moderator show. Your inexcusable treatment of constituencies such as traditional Cathlolics and the conservative Calvinists has done to FR what the leftist have done to America - killed it's Christian core.
As I said two posts earlier, the issue was whether the Religion Forum thread is protected from debate like an RF thread labeled "devotional" and/or non-Catholics disagreeing with statements made, like a "Catholic Caucus".
Digs at other beliefs disqualifies RF threads from a protected status, i.e. "caucus" "devotional" "prayer" "ecumenical." Therefore, it is an "open" RF thread.
