I could post parallel criteria against the RC’s . . . particularly some.

[Judith Anne]

We prottys have to endure

hostile, trolling, outrageously titled and stated RC posts and threads virtually 24/7.

You don’t hear us whining anything remotely close to the RC whines.

You're bothered because Catholics get to post threads on FR, and you're bothered because you don't like the titles, and because we can post anytime we want?

My, my.

[Quix]

Hogwash.

I could have said very similar things from our perspective against yours and your contenders.

[Petronski]

You're bothered because Catholics get to post threads on FR...

Say what!?!

Catholics are permitted to post threads?

[Religion Moderator]

The floor is open. I would like to hear suggestions and constructive criticisms.

To all contributors: discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal. If this thread becomes a childish spitwad battle, it will be locked.

[Petronski]

I stuck with the real lyrics.

How should a Catholic respond to the 1,000th. reference to our

“idolatrous, blasphemous Magnificent Magical Earth-Mother Marian dogma”?

= == =

1. Consider it par for the course when such opposing sides get going

2. Consider it laughable

3. Shrug and pity the poster

4. Consider the source

5. Forgive and go on

6. Trust God to have perfect perceptiveness; perfect love and perfect justice to deal with it in His way and His time

7. Understand that in a complex world and the context of FR, such will routinely go on . . . and that the RC’s are NOT in charge of defining FR nor the rules nor the criteria of FR . . . that we all have an OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT CONSERVATIVE GOALS AND VALUES and that DEMANDING conformity—even regarding how RC-ism is approached or contended with is simply NOT THE RIGHT NOR ROLE OF THE RC’S HEREON any more than it is the right or role of GAMECOCK OR QUIX to define such.

The RM made his perspective known on that score a long time ago and repeatedly since.

Of course the RM registers it as mocking.

[Quix]

Nice to see a Biblical, sane, wholesome, humorous, thick skinned response to such thin-skinned silliness.

Thanks.

[Quix]

Your wisdom and sanity on this is greatly appreciated and noted.

[Petronski]

There you go again, tweaking us with a 2x4, pretending it’s all in good fun and no feelings were hurt.

Forgiveness follows repentance.

[Quix]

I can’t find a single phrase in your response that resonates in the least

remotely accurately

to anything I said.

[Quix]

Aye.Aye.

Thought I was contributing such.

Sigh.

[Petronski]

Predictably, perceptiveness problems plague your post-processing prowess.

[Quix]

I think my assertions about . . . relative . . . slaps . . . so to speak . . . have been proven in the last 25 or so posts.

I’m NOT faulting you in the least. I think you are doing most admirably with an impossible task.

I just challenge the other side to look at the record in the last 25 posts and then more honestly in their mirrors.

[Petronski]

...the record in the last 25 posts...

Let's look at the last 25,000 posts in the Religion Forum. Larger sample-sizes are always better.

Forgiveness follows repentance.

I believe you have it backwards...

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
