Ok, then. Can you come up with a list of “lies” which should be prohibited in “open” religious debate?
Do you have a list of "potty language" or do you moderate it as you see it?
Here’s one: “Catholicism deifies Mary.”
It’s demonstrably not true. A poster should be able to say “it looks like Catholics are worshiping Mary” until the cows come home. It can be disproved readily enough. But “Catholicism deifies Mary” is a lie.
Defining “lies” in this field is difficult, I do not question that. But on one extreme end of the bell curve of truthiness, there are SOME allegations that are demonstrably, objectively false.
I should add that there is no doubt at least one Catholic in this world who, through improper catechesis, ignorance, etc. does worship Mary. But they are committing a mortal sin in the eyes of the Catholic Church and should be counseled to stop immediately. This too is the teaching of the Catholic Church, and demonstrably so, and in no event should that behavior be conflated with veneration or honor paid by other Catholics. None of this is anything that cannot be handled by Catholic posters and as far as I'm concerned should not be proscribed.
1. Cathoics worship Mary.
2. Mary was not ever-Virgin
3. Cathollcs blindly follow the Magesterium.
4. Deliberate distortion of words calculated to inflame:
i.e. “Magicsterium”
5. Catholics pray to and ask the intercession of dead people
in opposition to scripture.
6. Holy Scripture refutes Catholic beliefs
There are plenty more.
Seems to me that Prottys ought to have some input into such a process.
And, away from home, I have no ping list.
My guess is that the Prottys feel there is no hope of having lasting influence in such a process so they are just not bothering.
