But an ecumenic thread will do nothing to a propagandist because his whole purpose is to drag your faith down, not to explain his.

Which comes back to the original reason for proposing something for consideration.

The propagandist will rely upon certain well-worn argument patterns. Those can be found on numerous websites and are ruthlessly plagiarized from one to another (perhaps with an occasional word change, but that's it).

A reference for us to be able to quickly refute that line of argument (and once refuted to simply ignore the thread) I think would be beneficial.

That is the reason I would propose a caucus designation: because the purpose is not to argue the proposition with those who believe it but to develop a ready resource for those of us who want to put it out of its misery when it pops its ugly head up, regardless of how many of 25 million pages contain it.

(But apparently we have to give the other chance an opportunity to defend the proposition, even though it has nothing to do with positively asserting their beliefs...it only has to do with dragging down somebody else's beliefs. Oh, well)

In order to create a reference all you need is an ecumenical thread, that would explain proper role of Mary in the arts. You don’t need to “rip” any articles “to shreds” to do that.
