I do remember that, but it doesn’t seem to be a black and white rule given there have been numerous caucus threads about Francis since then.
Just because the ‘rule’ is occasionally unenforced; it does NOT mean the ‘rule’ is NOT a ‘rule’.
Most people probably are not aware of the RM's comments on the topic..
I just find it ironic that the constant pope bashing from Roman Catholics may have introduced a new rule that restricts the caucus label involving threads about the pope.
IF Christians posted these articles criticizing the pope as much as Roman Catholics do I can only imagine the feigned cries of "Roman Catholic bashing" from the usual suspects.
The law of unintended consequences.
Besides, I’ve seen a number of threads posted by certain Roman Catholics that violate the caucus rules. They’re just not always called on it.
