I’d rather not be subjected to foul language, but I certainly am, almost daily. It’s all but unavoidable in popular music and entertainment, not to mention normal daily discourse.

The site sets the rules in this regard, though, despite the obvious effort to accomodate a diversity of religious views.

Maybe there are those who would prefer a Religion Forum filled with four letter words but no criticism of one’s own church allowed. Maybe such individuals can found a site with a religion forum organized in that manner, but I suspect it won’t attract much of a following.

This one obviously isn’t organized in that manner. I deal with it reasonably well, as do most, on either side of the recurring debate over the role of Mary in Christianity. Some on your side appear to double down and become much more vocal regarding Mariology.

Hopefully there are others who understand that the concern and even alarm is scripturally based, and who will practice a more restrained form of veneration for her. She is certainly deserving, but in some quarters at least, this veneration has veered into worship, and Mary appears to be rising to something she was not ever intended to be.

On either end of the scale, you encounter rhetorical bomb-throwers. The author of the article that is the subject of this thread would seem to fit that categorization.

Except the one who crossed the line was, by his/her own confession, one with no religion at all. Funny how so many anti-Catholics assumed him/her to be a Catholic because he found an anti-Catholic posting to be destructive to unity in the face of common enemies.
