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.
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.
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 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.
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.
I find that if there is a thread that I don't like, I just click by it and go to one that is more to my liking. In fact, no one says you have to post in something you don't agree with. One should just go on with life and not make one's self miserable - like you seem to feel.

Well stated, and perfectly true.
It is a disgrace to FR that they allow this to go on.
However, they always have, and they have always taken the side of the protestants.
