I see what you are saying, and I do agree, partly. But I still think there is wisdom generated in knowing what the other side is thinking and writing.

I feel there would be a great loss here if all that we posted gave only Glory to the Church. I think the responses most often do that. Heck, I'm wondering if some of Fr. Neuhaus' columns would make that criteria? Or some (all) of the newspaper accounts of the homosexual scandal? On the other hand, I wouldn't post a critique of the Catholic Church by someone like a James White or a rant against John Paul II by the SSPXers.

Truer words were hardly ever spoken. I really wish that more people would take that to heart and not request that others be banned. Sometimes there is no more effective way to evangelize than to present both sides of the story.

Also one of the most important principles of war according to some guy,like von Clausawitz or Sun-tsu or Che Guevera is "know your enemy" And certainly if this isn't a war it ia a major battle.

Finally,even if we're not evangelizing,or preparing for "war",it is always good to learn,and as you said,on another post Colleen,you (and I)also learn so much from the responses of posters responding to the article or post in question.
