I love the smell of theology in the morning. It smells like......victory.
First, the thread that was posted is one full of slant and anti-Catholic whoppers (even if there is some truth to it). It's puts the Catholics in a position of first defeating the whoppers, then actually talking about the doctrines. Not worth the time for most of us.
Second, nobody "hijacked" the thread. It was never a discussion to begin with - only self-congratulation amongst the Protestants, and the complaints of the few Catholics who felt like confronting it tonight.
Third, theology and civil discourse is scarce here. From both sides.
