The problem is non-Catholic posters coming on RF threads with troll posts, repeating the same anti-Catholic diatribes on every Catholic thread.

I would be happy to ping you to some.

lol. "Non-catholic posters on RF threads!"

What nerve!!!

And here we have the very reason for the Reformation itself -- because Rome cannot be challenged, all disagreement must be obliterated., or at the very least dismissed as "diatribes" by "trolls."

There must be some Catholics out there who recognize how to debate issues without declaring the discussion null and void simply because it does not like the counter-argument.

Some of these suggestions being made by Catholics on this thread would be laughable if they weren't so sad, and would be tantamount to either closing the Religion Forum or putting up a sign, "NO PROTESTANTS ALLOWED."

And just once I would like to see a Catholic count up the number of Catholic threads and compare them to the number of Protestant threads on the RF. It is easily 10 to one.

It very often feels like some Catholic posters here will not be happy until that ratio is 10 to zero.

"Non-catholic posters on RF threads!"

Here's another one of your famous truncated posts. You pulled those words out of their context.

Let's take a look at the actual protest:

...non-Catholic posters coming on RF threads with troll posts, repeating the same anti-Catholic diatribes on every Catholic thread.

The part in bold is what is cut off, and it is plain to see now why.

All that is required is an honest retelling of our faith...rather than the heaping strawman versions of our faith that you love to bat away.

Selective quoting on your part.

The rest of the sentence:

The problem is non-Catholic posters coming on RF threads with troll posts, repeating the same anti-Catholic diatribes on every Catholic thread.

More like "ALL RESPECTFUL HONEST PROTESTANTS OF GOOD WILL WELCOME!"

And the last defense, even though most of the Protestants have been posting for years, citing scripture, citing Catholic doctrine, is to label the opposition as “trolls”. Last time I saw it was on evolution creatinist threads where every Christian poster was automatically a troll.

Not to be crude, or anything but it seems to me that every time the Pope passes gas, someone posts a thread on it.

So post more Protestant threads.

Since learning what a caucus thread is, I tend to avoid catholic caucus threads.

BTW, a catholic caucus thread basically has a big "NO PROTESTANTS ALLOWED" sign. ;)
(caucus threads are CLOSED treads)

The catholics can post as many caucus threads as they like.

Why should they complain about non-catholics posting non-caucus threads?

We let them have their closed threads, and we let them post on our discussion threads.


Somebody needs to grow up.

“And just once I would like to see a Catholic count up the number of Catholic threads and compare them to the number of Protestant threads on the RF. It is easily 10 to one.”

Who do you think posts more threads about the other, Protestants or Catholics?

FWIW, the last 3 Threads that have been posted are about Mormonism:

JESUS THE CHRIST - Chapter 2, PREEXISTENCE AND FOREORDINATION OF THE CHRIST. (LDS)

INDEED.

Quite ghastly.

And what angers me . . . is all this tumbling out so eggregiously with JimRob not in the best of health. Like, he really NEEDS this.

At the risk of sending the RC’s into flights of ecstasy, I’m praying about bowing out just for JimRob’s health and sanity at this trying time. It really outrages me that they’d mount such a push at this time. However, given the centuries of worse skullduggary, doesn’t really surprise me.
