You postulated an open thread for the RCC catechism, much like P-Marlowe is hosting Calvin's Institutes on an open thread.

However, for some reason you've changed your mind and have labeled this an Ecumenic thread.

Open threads are productive and challenging and informative.

Ecumenic threads are not a place for challenges. Therefore, I don't care to reread the RCC catechism without being permitted to challenge its manifold errors.

Thanks all the same.

What the Ecumenic tread bars is antagonism. Challenges are fine.

On the other hand, this thread is not about the “RCC catechism,” but rather the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

“Open threads are productive and challenging and informative.”

Yes, they are. But it does waste time having to scroll past the verbiage and drivel repeated on thread after thread after thread by the same boring, error-ridden posters who, while they have opinions and interpretations, are just that, opinions and interpretations.

~Not to mention the crayola gabble of others.

It does tend to waste time.

IMHO, an ecumenical thread is limited to religious discourse vs an open thread where even the heathens may participate.

Just curious, but would be interested in one of the errors, if any, you find in this post, and a documented explanation with scriptural reference. Thank you.
