So what is the alternative?

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.

Good grief, Brian... would you not feel that a "Daily Prayer for the Calvinist Reformation of the Apostate American Church" Thread in the News Forum would amount to an "institutionalized Anti-Catholic Bias"??

There's good reason for the churches to discuss these matters in the Religion Forum.

Because incidentally, a "Daily Prayer for the Calvinist Reformation of the Apostate American Church" Thread would be overwhelmingly and ecstatically applauded by the vast majority of the puritan founders of these American States.

Just ask Johnathan Edwards.

There's good reason for the "Religion Forum". The American Church is not what it was at this Nation's Founding. And the American Church, at this nation's founding, had an enormously positive impact on American Republicanism.

To reclaim that Precedent, and enjoy again God's Favor on this land, the American Church must be Reformed to what it once was.

The Religious Forum is an ideal environment for such considerations.
