It is because of jerks like this, and the moderators who enable them, that I run in to Catholic Conservatives now and then who say things like “Free Republic? Isn’t that place filled with Neo-Nazis who hate the Church?” OK, maybe that’s an exageration, but this place HAS had a reputation among Catholics who blog.

I tend to take rather lengthy breaks from the Religion forum. I think the Religion Mods have what may be the most difficult job on FR, and I don't envy them one bit.

I confess that I am mystified at the numbers of posters of other faiths who feel compelled to visit threads that involve Catholicism and then behave as many of them do.

Perhaps they are drawn to the Church somehow, in ways that cannot be easily explained. I don't know.

I do know that we are fortunate to have some truly dedicated and seemingly almost tireless defenders of the faith whom I respect greatly. I count you among them.

Thanks, friend.
