Can we please move the deluge of Catholic-related articles out of news/activism?

This morning, as has been the case for weeks now, over half of the articles have been about Catholic church inside baseball. While I'm sure that is of interest to some, it merely squeezes out stuff that is more interesting to others. While I appreciate the importance of the topics to a few, let's keep in mind that it is not at all to others. I don't want to start a flame war but the nuances of some Latin-named paper by some unknown cardinal in a village in Germany (just a hyperbolic example) are wholly unimportant to this good old Protestant. There is a specific forum for discussion of religion.

I agree. When they start talking about the “Dubia” I am thinking they are referring to G W Bush. Haven’t a clue.

I like seeing articles about what is going on in the Catholic Church. I do not read them all, but having them available is somehow assuring.

There is a connection that is relevant for all Christians.

While the current division in the Catholic Church may seem like inside baseball, the theological and geopolitical significance of a heretical pope are profound, and will shake all of Christendom.

If I see a thread title about something I’m not interested in I have no problems not reading them. I can scroll past them & life is beautiful. Try it :)

Some of my fellow Catholics don’t seem to realize how “inside baseball” this stuff is, or how hard it is for others to follow.

Nor do they realize that the Pope has dictatorial powers and they aren’t going to stop him from changing Communion rules. No matter how many long-winded articles they post on FRr.

Please move them to their own forum ... especially the posts that are copy/paste and a few miles long ...

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.

It amounts to spamming. One article after another.

after seeing the pope washing muslims feet in a pic a few months ago, that drained the last grains of sand of the hour glass for me. it appears the church would bend over and spread their own ass cheeks to appease the muslims... totally 100% turned off.

true, but sometime the posts are so long it is cumbersome to scroll past them on a touch screen device that requires finger swiping. Nobody types them in. They are copy/paste.

If you want to see them, they will be in their own forum and you can easily go there.

Anything, and I mean anything the Catholic church has to say on any topic is meaningless to me.

The catholic church, leadership supports open borders, government or church controlled redistribution of wealth, in short socialism.
