I did a keyword search for the keyword *catholicbashing* and found some threads posted that didn’t even reference Catholicism in them.
The Tozer threads are some.
Some of the other threads labels with that key word were posted by CATHOLICS themselves. (Who have been courtesy pinged.)
I know the RM can see who posts the keywords in the keyword field. Perhaps the RM could address this and the posters who are doing it.
Adding the keyword of *catholicbashing* to a thread that doesn’t even mention ANY denomination, much less Catholicism, but rather focuses on Christ, is just plain satanically motivated.
If focusing on Christ is considered Catholic bashing, then there’s a real serious problem within Catholicism.
Thank you, Faith Presses On, for bringing this to our attention.
It’s not a good reflection of Catholicism, to say the least.
You make a good watchman, metmom. I completely missed this possibility of FR keyword mislabeling. I don’t look for topics this way but many here do.
You’re welcome, metmom. I did see myself the different articles posted on Christianity that are listed as “catholicbashing” and read a couple, seeing nothing directly in them about Catholicism. It actually seems like some articles have gotten that keyword, in part at least, because the poster posting them is known to not agree with Roman Catholicism. On articles posted by Catholics, some, I think might be labeled with “catholicbashing” because of the external source (The National Catholic Reporter) or what’s happening in the story (like a couple where Roseanne Barr says things about Catholicism), while other articles get the label because of disagreement between Catholics. And in articles such as where the MSM covering a priest or the Roman Catholic Church being accused of something, it appears like the “catholicbashing” is supposedly being done by both the MSM and the poster bringing it to people’s attention here.
Some unknown person(s), who may be Catholic (or maybe one of your own posse playing games), mislabeling threads (according to you, at least), reflects badly on the entire Catholic faith?
Whoever this mysterious mislabel-ist, s/he sure casts a long shadow.
You're so right, since we all know the U.S. Conference of Bishops meets regularly to decide which key words to add to threads on FreeRepublic.
If it bothers anyone that much there are several solutions:
1) Stop posting threads that bash Catholics.
2) As the RM has stated many times. Simply stick to Caucus threads.
3) Stop doing "keyword" searches.
