This article is based on nothing but speculation and denigrates one of the most charitable CHRISTIAN institutions on Earth. Whereas most Catholic Priests live in good housing and eat the best foods, the Ministry of the Salvation Army is to provide for the needs of the poor and help with disaster recovery. They are usually first on the scene with food, clothing, and a warm hand and a smile. Yet, their salaries and stipends are extremely modest. The money put into those kettles is used for providing services, not for building fancy edifices and gilt idols of worship. There are lies, and damn lies. This one is lower than that!
This display of Roman Catholic bigotry is disgusting!
I don't see anything about promoting religious wars in the FR Mission Statement. Some here wish to turn it into a religion forum, and it usually devolves into "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin".
It goes along with the type of person who equates Billy Graham with known frauds and cults.
Take heart.
That kind of desperation is is very telling.
If that’s the lengths they have to go to to build themselves up, it doesn’t speak well of them.
Catholicism should be able to stand on its own merit. If they have to denigrate other non-Catholic organizations that way, it shows that it can’t.
And of course, there’s also Catholic Charities that they could be addressing. Start at home instead of ignoring the elephant in the room and attacking an organization that does such admirable work.
I’m not a Catholic but I am a conservative Christian and I support the Salvation Army as a worthy charity that does far more good than the “harm” supposedly caused by their stance on abortions.

Well, you know what they say...."When in Rome...."
If that type of debate offends you, then ignore the open RF threads altogether and instead post to threads labeled "caucus" "ecumenical" "devotional" or "prayer."
If you feel inundated by pro-Catholicism threads, then feel free to post all the pro-Protestantism threads you'd like.
Finally, if you do not wish to see RF posts, do NOT use the "everything" option on the Free Republic browse option list. Instead, browse by "News/Activism." When you log back in, the browse will reset to "everything" - so be sure to set it back to "News/Activism."
That is up to management, but many of the continuous Catholics postings are a testimony to what cultic devotion can do, while they have served to expose the specious nature of RC polemic after polemic, by God's grace, thanks be to Him.
There are many Protestants threads that can be posted.

AMEN!

>>I thought it had sunk low, but now seems to be getting more desperate. The Roman clan apparently will post anything that casts a negative light on anything Protestant, to try and make their cult look better. This constant barrage of spamming RC promotion should be eliminated from this site. It seeks to be something it is not. FreeRepublic is designed to be a uniter of like-minded people, but the incessant promotion of Roman Catholicism is more a divider.<<
I signed up for FR back in 2010. I saw pages of RC dogma pieces and a few days later decided to move as this was an RC site. Then came back last year to view/post here after a friend told me my original observations were premature.
Then as I started posting here I thought the RCs were like the RCs in my family, friends and work associates. Wow was I surprised. The conservative traditional RCs I know in real life day to day are nothing like what I see posted here. It is like we are in some Jesuit and Opus Dei bizarro world here.
