So what is the alternative? If there is none then I would be content discussing these issues on the Religion Forum/Ghetto. Though I mostly just read and don't contribute very much. It can't be a bad place with the likes of Askel5, patent, and yourself here. (lots of others too, but I can't bring their screen names to my mind without a little thought). If you all leave though, the ghetto will be a dismal place.
Well, apparently the old way is not an alternative so I guess this is all that remains.
However, the real alternative, is to apply equally the de facto censorship going on with Catholic threads in the News Forum.
Too many threads that obviously belong in the News Forum have been exiled to the Religion Forum. Too many are obvious news stories that should not have been arbitrarily moved.
And other threads that are obviously Religion Forum material, such as the Daily Prayer for Bush threads, remain in the News Forum.
I highly doubt if we started a Daily Rosary and Novena For Bush thread, that in the current climate here at FR it would remain long in the News Forum.
thus my observation that there is a patronizing censorship going on here that is sliding into an institutionalized anti-Catholic bias.
Bump in agreement from another "tin ear", "no vocal range" participant :)
I'm just happy Free Republic and you guys are all here. I don't care if it's in the ghetto or front page.
