FYI, you can help also if you choose. Hit the abuse button
and ask the Moderator to put the thread over in the Religion
Forum. They can do that if deemed necessary.
And here is another one of these garbage threads:

I don’t see it. Maybe if you were to list some examples?
The Admin Moderator or Religion Moderator can help you.
It’s you who need to change the way you view FR.
All those articles are posted in the religion forum, so there is no reason for you to even see them.
Even though I’m not Roman Catholic, I’ve been more than fair and supportive of Roman Catholicism.
The Vatican presents itself as a player in world politics. To the extent that any news item out of the Vatican touches on politics, it is fair game.
Any comments or innuendos by the pontiff on Trump or other world leaders can be in news as easily as it can be on the religion forum. Even the weakening of Catholic teaching on marriage impinges on politics due to so many divorced, high-profile Catholics being political leaders.
My sense is that such an article on marriage would actually get more hits on the religion forum than it would on the news forum, but I’m experienced in each forum and realize that all posts show on the “everything” forum.
