I do understand the delimma - it may even be a matter of doctrine that any "anti" position toward the Catholic Church cannot be approached academically, arms-length, impersonally by many members of the confession.

Nevertheless, there are quite a few highly articulate and competent Catholic debaters.

But is the solution to make Catholicism "untouchable" - beliefs not to be spoken in public, in the town square? Or is the solution to do away with the town square altogether and go to ecumenicism?

That's not what I want, but rather that the RF be treated more like the other forums, with spamming and trolling not accepted.
