My question to you is...
Have you paid attention over the years to which group of worshippers has most requested the demise of the FR Religion forum and has most lamented this forum’s existance?
No, it doesn’t concern me because Jim Robinson is a champion of freedom of expression & he won’t allow that to happen.
If you’re implying that it’s Catholics who complain the most about this Religion Forum, then I would remind my fellow Catholics that Holy Mother Church has endured far worse than a few online critics, and those Catholics should grow a thicker skin.
A far greater threat to Rome is our current screwball Pope, but we’ve had those before, especially during the Renaissance. As a layman I could have told the College of Cardinals to never, never, elect a Jesuit to anything, they’ve been nothing but trouble over the last four centuries.
I assume that Protestant critics of the Church of Rome believe in Sola Scriptura, which I am quite familiar with. FWIW, I’ll take a fervent independent Protestant any day over the mushiness of the major denominations.
