We are required to be impersonal on the RF. I actually learned how from a Protestant. And "Romanism" is a slur

RM, Judith Anne brings up a valid point- Romanism is a slur and I think you should not allow this anymore if you're really being fair

Words and phrases which some find offensive others do not, e.g. Romanist, Roman Catholic, dear, Proddy, Papist, affiliate, edifice, Morman.

And some of those terms appear in religious documents and articles which could be the subject of "open" Religion Forum debate where thick skin is required.

If I determine a word or phrase is too offensive for open religious debate, I will let you know.

If the FR reads through the thread he will see Calvinists and Calvin dragged all over the place and mocked with "slurs"

We need to grow up here..we are not liberal cry babies, we are not post modernists that think every word we do not like is a "slur"

Go and read the works of the documents of the reformation and you will see plenty of hits and strong language on both sides.. Guess what they were grown ups that did not let every little thing bother them .. Romanist is no different than Calvinist ..should they out law that too?

Instead of whining and complaining we should examine issues ...

I have had enough personal insults thrown at me in the last few days..that if I cared i could whine about..but I really do not care what the Catholic posters think of me personally.. the center of discussion is doctrine not our personalities it is a search for the truth about Christ.
