I haven't gotten an answer yet. I can generalize, though --- unless someone wants to jump in and set me straight --- that since Catholics don't (to my knowledge) swarm distinctively Protestant threads, which may probably indicate that Catholic don't think swarming is an appropriate thing to do to other people's discussions.

I am open to correction here.

When was the last time you saw distinctively Protestant OPEN threads of articles promoting a uniquely "one true church" or openly attacking Catholic beliefs," while how many RCs have done the like for Rome and against Protestantism, while how many Prots have been zotted for posting articles attacking Rome, versus RCs for attacking Protestantism? Double standard liberalism?

But how man articles like Happy excommunication day Martin Luther excommunicated did not receive many Catholics contentions?

I'd say probably don't hold your breath waiting for that answer.

Rather than thinking Freeper Protestants/Evangelicals wait for the opportunity to "swarm" Catholic threads and barge into other people's discussions, try to see instead that when we see threads that provoke a response from us, we don't shy away from defending our faith. This thread, for example, states:

She forms the body of Christ. She schools her son's disciples. Those who won't attend her school, remain ignorant.

Jesus' mother forms the few of the elect who will resist being fooled by the great apostasy. Those who will not avail themselves of the lifeline of Mary, will be lost.

Do you think it wise to just let that kind of thing go unanswered? Most of us know that arguing with Catholics about their devotion to the Virgin Mary is futile, but when articles are posted that assert those who do not share in such beliefs are "ignorant" or "will be lost", they cry for a counter argument and a defense.

And, there HAS been Catholic swarming on past non-Catholic Religion Forum threads that Catholics objected to especially those that were seen to contradict Catholic doctrines, but such threads are rare anymore. We should be sensitive to how others might receive the articles we post. For those who relish a good old fashioned debate, that is what OPEN RF threads provide.

...that since Catholics don't (to my knowledge) swarm distinctively Protestant threads...

Well; MY knowledge is that Catholics do NOT swarm their own CAUCUS threads.

They ARE found where there is a PROT presence; trying to convince the weak that Rome's way is the ONLY way.
