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.
This.
God blessedly agreed...amen
They also show up under Latest Articles, the number of which was what i was referring to in my above post, not just those under News, which are the minority, most being under Religion.
agree!
Wow so many thin-skinned snowflakes around here. You’d think this was DU or some other liberal forum. If you don’t like the headline or if it doesn’t appeal to you, scroll on by. There are numerous posts I don’t read for a variety of reasons but respect that they may interest others.
Why so whiney? It’s Friday. Relax.
Hint: Click News/Activism then save as a bookmark on your toolbar.
If you see a religious article it’s because someone posted it in the wrong forum.
I'm not Catholic, but I recognize that the Pope is a major world leader, or he should be. I also recognize that abortion is a major wedge issue from the Left.

God moves in strange and mysterious ways.
That's not a bug, it's a feature. The "latest posts"/"latest comments" links list all of the latest posts/comments. If you just want the latest news/activism posts, go there. Or you could also just scroll past the Catholic articles in the latest posts section.
I’m confused. Should this article be posted in Religion or News?
Atheist middle school teacher says she feels ‘bullied’ by students saying ‘God bless you’

I think the cheese-off factor for this being a future undead thread has significant potention
Waaaaa!
“They make them all Caucus threads anyway.”
This.
“Here is a stack or articles about my specific belief system. No, you may not join the discussion.”
You mean a forum which officially is "For God, Family, Country, Life and Liberty!!" "pro-God, pro-life, pro-family..." "dedicated to defending our GOD-GIVEN rights," which aggressively defends our "God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion,..."and opposed to such things as "government enforced atheism" should act like atheists and have no religion Forum?
Perhaps you are on the wrong forum. Whether you like it or not, without Religion and Christianity you have no America, and and the progressive rejection of it results the progressive moral anarchy seen today.
And in addition, the toxic threads where Protestants and Catholics bash each other are sickening. Both are conservative and seek the welfare of America, though many RCs hope for a RC monarchy, and while the contentions are sickening to you healthy debate must be allowed, for Truth is life.
Many Founders recognized the dangers of unfettered Romanism, as well as post-Biblical theocracies as well,but clearly expressed and supported general religious faith, esp. Christian. And the nation's law reflected the beliefs of the Founder and the people, who elect those who interpret them. Therefore, when the electors forsake the word of God and choose delusions after their own lusts, and make silver and gold their ultimate security/gods, then they are seduced by and elect godless and immoral men, as seen in modern history.
And wicked.
Which presupposes an authorative standard for what is Good versus Evil. What is yours?
I agree as a Catholic; I sometimes wonder who is posting the articles that leads to anti- Catholic bashing. But, the bottom line is that I don’t to read any Protestant articles either on news.
Agreed. Some self editing to limit the volume to the most important bits would be appreciated.
This is true, partly because it largely excludes liberals because it has wise rules and overall superior mods, versus such forums as http://www.christianforums.com with its snowflake mods, or Catholic Answers forums with its anti-Prot., wannabe inquisitor mods.
And to exclude such debate is inconsistent with Christian and American values, though turning FR into a Catholic news and provocative propaganda service invites debate RCs want censored, and the secular parties complain about.
The Catholics posting this stuff are delusional enough to think that circulating long treatises on Canon Law written by the FOUR Cardinals who actually oppose Francis is going to change anything.
That’s like Liberals believing that the Stein recounts would keep Trump out of office.
No, those four Cardinals will be dispatched to hearing Confessions at arctic research stations, and Francis is going to proceed as he wants.
The only option if you don’t like it is to leave (which they’ve been dumping on Protestants for doing for 700 years)
I respectfully do not understand or perhaps do not agree with the sentiment of your vanity post. It is your opinion that those matters which have no interest to you because you believe them to be religious must be kept from the rest of us. Perhaps you would be happier if Christians would just shut up and leave you alone.
Restricting Catholic posts to the religion forum is the same as restricting religious speech to the church building on Sunday!
I agree. I feel the same way about Protestant-themed copy & paste articles. I may find the articles interesting - in the proper forum. Religious articles belong in the religion forum. IMO, the only articles about religion that belong in News/Activism are those that deal with first amendment issues.
