How unfortunate. While I consider deception and misrepresentation deplorable, I also consider the censorship of valid criticism equally deplorable. Why not stop “bashing” liberals, or Muslims, or queers if it is “bashing” that is the bad behavior? I have made my own posts critical of the actions and words of a pope and I shudder to think that is now “Catholic bashing” and deserving of censorship. If you want to proselytize and tell me what a wonderful guy the pope is, shutdown any criticism and call it “bashing” prevention, so be it.

I would have hoped a more thoughtful explanation and policy were forthcoming. I say that as an ex-Catholic who accepts much church doctrine and little church hierarchy.

Posts or threads? There is a difference.

Are you starting topics with the purpose of inciting disrespectful conversation, or are you making posts on other newsmaker threads expressing a religious perspective?

The former is unbecoming of this forum. The latter is acceptable, if done with citations to back up statements if the opinions are not readily obvious.

Jim is asking that daily threads be stopped, not religious opinions on other news threads.

You can go on Catholic threads and debate there. Or you can post a thread that's positive about Protestantism and people can debate on that thread.

But posting threads like "Why Catholics Worship Mary" on a daily basis is inflammatory, serves little purpose, and is less than charitable.
