Amen!

This is what I was told when I tried to point Catholic Bashing out....
"Last time I checked, this was a public forum and a primarliy secular forum. If you post anything here regarding your church practices or doctrine you should be prepared to defend it. All solitas did was to question whether or not he might state that the whole idea of a confessional was not necessarily scriptural without being flamed and the next thing you know he was accused of hijacking the thread. (which of course means, NO!)

If you want to post your threads so that they are not open to discussion by anyone other than catholics, I'd suggest you take these threads over to some exclusive Catholic blog or discussion board.

As far as I am concerned, if you don't like the fact that these threads are open to people of all faiths, including those who disagree with your doctrine and practices, then maybe you should find another discussion forum. A private, members-only Catholic forum. I'm sure there's plenty of those out there."

SO, this means that no matter what we post, Being rude and questioning Dogma is fair game. Not like anyone would question the Dogma on the Jewish threads but..........

No kidding...avg_freeper. I have never in my life seen hatred of Catholics like I have seen on Free Republic. The first time I saw it I was shocked and thought it must be a fluke. But no - it wasn't. Now that I have been on here for more than a year I realize its not only quite common but in many cases it is tolerated. These people don't even realize how much they have in common with the left. Most leftists hate the Catholics with the same passion. I can only imagine what these bigots would write on these threads if they were not concerned about being tossed.
Honestly I have no idea where this crap comes from but I suspect it comes right from the mouth of the Protestant clergy. These people must eat this stuff up as children and spew it out like the vomit it is.
Never once have I entered into a conversation with a member of my faith who had such rabid foaming of the mouth hatred of Protestants - never. Never once have I met a priest who spoke about hatred of Protestants. Honest to Christ Himself you people should think about the hypocrisy of attending your church while your heads and hearts are filled with hatred for Catholics.
