I don’t want to see it shut down at all, however bleeding over into News/Activism creates a problem because not all enjoy the debate and can become offended. It should remain in the RF, so those who want to read and participate can do so, and those who do not can do so as well.

I agree 100%. There are times when Catholic news is general news (e.g. papal election), but most of the recent stories I don't think fit that category. Something that the mods can straighten out I'm sure.

Reading through the thread, more than a few comments holding notes of complaint brought to mind pinging him/her to the comment, along with pinging to other-side-of-the-coin type of comments, including your own insightful contributions, such as at #75 though I may not entirely agree with "what happens in the religious world will eventually affect what happens everywhere" depending perhaps on how one were to define 'the religious world' for starters.
