LOL
Keep repeating it, it will never come true.
The fascinating thing in all that is the lengths the RC's go to to try and discredit what the book says. Old Reggie used to say "there's no postion that they take that can't be denied". You see this tactic on all the threads. Once confronted with the truth of something the last retort is "well that's not an official act of the church".
I'm waiting to see if the "official wing of the church" will ever try to stop the Marian heresy.
I wonder if the anti-Catholic bigots’ purpose is to make the open threads so unpleasant for Catholics that we no longer participate. That way, they could have a nearly perfect Amen chorus, congratulating one another on how Christian they are.
I’m really angry about this. Completely sick of it. It’s not a game, and these aren’t jokes.
This is a very small segment of FR, slinging mud at a very large segment of FR, and furthermore doing it in the name of God.
Are there people who think FREE REPUBLIC is an anti-Catholic hate site? If they run across a thread like this, why wouldn’t they? I can’t see any reason they would be attracted to FR, can you? Putting up with this junk is something NO Christian should have to do, yet DAILY, even during our holy season of LENT, our Church is attacked.
This is not reasonable. Not humorous. Not interesting. Not conservative. Not enjoyable.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Risen Son of the Living God, I rebuke the anti-Catholic bigots of Free Republic. Shame on you all, in Christ’s Most Holy Name.
Congratulating one another on how evil their gross caricature of the Catholic Church is.
Again though, I must point out that this thread is an unmitigated success.
The title poses a question and the replies to the thread provide clear answers.
This is true.
Agreed. I hope this thread remains as a testament.
So do I.
Quite frankly, Judith, there are some who just attack with lies and falsehoods and flashy fonts and false websites or random pieces of gibberish — they’re not Christian and they may crib about that, but they’re not. This doesn’t include the majority of Protestant posters even on the Religion forum threads (alamo, redgolum, Mr Rogers, lightman,sionnsar etc are examples of Christians who happen to be Protestants and there are many more) who can debate without resorting to lies or insults. The ones we recognise as not being in this large bunch of Christians are just baiters without much in their lives, so we should be happy that we give them an opportunity to bring some excitement to their drab, meaningless, Christ-less lives.
I'm waiting to see if the "official wing of the church" will ever try to stop the Marian heresy.

INDEED TO THE MAX.
That last will happen when they have the winter olympics figure skating competitions on the lake of fire in hell.
Their outrageous weaseling duplicities in such matters are embarrassingly brazen and it's like they don't even have a glimpse or a clue at their own double standards.
Such denial would rival the denial of chronic alcoholics. Oh, Right, some of the more rabid posters do show up on the AA threads. Interesing.
THEN, ON TOP OF THAT, THEY EXPECT SUCH BRAZENNESS AND OUTRAGEOUS DENIAL-RIDDEN WEASELING DUPLICITY TO STILL GARNER OUR RESPECT!!! Do they think we submitted our brains to some toilet paper manufacturing plant in Rome in some supreme kowtowing submission to Papal authority???
I used to think that JW's with their constantly changing APPEARING events were the religious world's greatest example of denial, duplicity and craziness.
No more. The rabid Papists hereon have jumped to the top of that list in leaps and bounds.
Mind boggling. And I haven't even shared the full horrors of that little book . . . just a smattering of the low lights.

RICHARD CARDINAL CUSHING’S IMPRIMATUR
I dub this thread OPERATION FOOTBULLET.
Sigh, God expects better from all of us, but to say some Catholics or some Lutherans may not be saved is hardly earth shattering. Try reading without the lens of expected hate. I believe even you as a Catholic has repeated the adage about the floors of hell and its pavement. Do you now rue those words since Catholics are true Christians? Same deal here minus the bishops' skulls.
LOL!
Yes, a small minority of FReepers.

Nice.
Duplicity strikes again.
I should say--SANCTIMONIOUS duplicity strikes again.
Yet again they wail, whine, throw dust in the air and rend their rosaries because they cannot turn FR
into MORE of a kowtowing-to-the-Vatican Papist sub-department.
Tyrannical authoritarianism in the name of RELIGION is NEVER satisfied.
And they seem determined to PROVE ACTIVELY that tyrannical authoritarianism in the name of The Pope is even worse.
And they have no clue about what they are doing so vividly before a watching world.
Incredible.
I hope some of them get their blood chemistry and arteries checked. Such duplicitous hostility is not good for the circulatory system.
I’m really angry about this. Completely sick of it. It’s not a game, and these aren’t jokes.
This is a very small segment of FR, slinging mud at a very large segment of FR, and furthermore doing it in the name of God.
I agree completely.
Yesterday, Alamo-Girl asked several of us if we considered her to be anti-Catholic. I responded that I didn't because disagreeing with Catholic doctrine is fine, especially when someone is open-minded to debate it. Mr. Rogers is another fine FReeper who I would put in this same category.
Last night it occurred to me that the anti-Catholic bigots on here could care less whether or not they are perceived as bigots. In fact, I have even had one go so far as to claim that anti-Catholic bigotry doesn't even exist.
Please see post 622.
This is so typical of what Catholics see, day after day, here on FR. It’s on nearly every open RF thread, multiple times. If people think FR is an anti-Catholic hate site, can you blame them after seeing this tripe multiple times in one day?
Those of us who are loyal FReepers, grateful to Jim Robinson for providing this site for discussion, are fully aware that posters like Quix constitute a vanishingly small minority of FReepers, but would a newbie think so? I wonder.
FRee speech is wonderful. A conservative web site is a treasure beyond price. A non-biased Religion Moderator is almost an angel of God. But why should stuff like anti-Catholic bigotry be part of FR?
It may be hard for non-Catholics to see. I don’t know how, but it may be. If so, put yourself in our shoes.
Goodness!
We certainly do NOT expect y’all to stop posting.
We aren’t that INOBSERVENT NOR THAT STUPID!
“True Believers” in the worst Eric Hoffer sense are usually terminally incurable.
Besides—it helps provide ongoing vivid proof of the truths we speak of. We really appreciate the service y’all provide of
PROVING OUR POINTS HEREON DAY IN AND DAY OUT VIRTUALLY 24/7 365 DAYS A YEAR. It’s really quite amazing.
I’ve never seen a group shoot themselves in the feet and other tender places so relentlessly and so publically before.
