I have had the exact same experience and reaction.

To be fair, it's a relatively small number of posters, but the ones who are really anti-Catholic hold little or nothing back. In doing so, they offer nothing useful or productive - only vitriol and hatred for the Church.

It is Alinsky's tactic at its finest - and those who choose to use it make themselves the devil's willing assistants.
