Notice: The daily sport of posting Catholic bashing threads on FR stops today. Thanks.

That's not the purpose of FR and not the purpose of our Religion forum. Trashing religion is not debate.

Those who cannot live with this are welcome to post elsewhere.

The debates on FR have shown that those facts you speak of are not always facts...

Only to the woefully ignorant or incredibly bigoted.

How about changing it to “What Protestants Believe about Mary.” or “Why We Don’t Call Mary the Mother of God.”

I suggest doing a rundown on the members of the protestant posse, you folks are dropping like flies today.

I thought the point of this thread was toning down the rhetoric. Both sides.

I do not believe the edict was to stifle debate...

Time will tell.

FR is not a place to discuss religions.Discuss, yes absolutely, bash the Catholic Church on a daily basis, NO!

‘Protestant posse’? Yeah that’s really getting into the spirit of the thread. But I don’t think gloating is a mortal sin so you’re safe.

So you are thankful while we may be censored, you can post such screeds as that of The Vortex—Star-Spangled Heresy, on Independence day this year no less, by a RC monarchist teaching that "America at her core has always been at war with the Catholic Church' and blaming Protestant ethos for the downfall of America.

All the while when those who hold most strongly to the primary basis for the Reformation, that of Scripture being the wholly inspired and accurate word of God are the most conservative, while liberal Prots tend to be those which are closest to Rome.

Or "The Vortex—Stolen Property," 7/9/2015, with his whining skewed version of history, or , "Why Catholicism Is Preferable to Protestantism," 2/1/2015, or "The Protestant Achilles' Heel," (March 21, 2014) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/3305143/posts

No flame baiting here in the eyes of most RCs i am sure

Will Rogers was quoted as saying that there are no strangers, just friends whom we have yet to meet. That would be a great standard for those of us who post anonymously here.

In the depths of my near fatal kidney failure last fall and winter, I was the beneficiary of the prayers of my fellow Catholic FReepers but also the prayers of many Reformed Christian FReepers. To my shame, I had previously engaged in some very uncharitable posting here against some of them. They behaved toward me with the love that our Savior urged upon us all.

I have tried, even before my illness, to urge folks here of all persuasions to remember that this is a political website for conservatives and that we should strive to unite in causes which we have in common.

In any event, Jim, yours the living room and yours the rules. God bless you and yours!

At last count 4 of the loudest anti-Catholics had been banned/suspended. That is a fact, not rhetoric.

Amen. It's what He wants. He is not willing that any should perish.
