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.

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.
What a hideous thing to say. For shame.
That was a short prayer. So, the answer was to disregard his health and sanity?
That’s a monstrous insinuation, that last paragraph you posted.
