For a while there was alot of Catholic bashing.

In general, charges of "catholic bashing" refer to disagreeing with Catholicism.

Agreed, but perhaps substituting "questioning" in place of "disagreeing with." ;-)

Anyhow, the papists told me that we protestants don't have any threads of our own precisely because we just live to bash "T"he "C"hurch. All I did was post a simple picture of the pope kissing the Koran.

Now, I don't claim to know if the photo's real but, I've seen it reported by more than one normally-reliable source that, not too many years ago, the pope had some Muslim leader(s) over to the Vatican for a joint preaching summit of some kind.

Plus, some of them claim every person has someone who serves as his own "pope," whether it be JP2, some local or worldwide church leader, or at worst, the individual himself. So, it's better to have The Pope than just having everyone picking his own. One is left to wonder how the Bereans survived.

Eh, whatever. It all turns out right in the end.

No, more like calling the Pope a "faggot" or a "drooling moron" and referring to Catholics as pedophiles, like I was called earlier today.

The pope never mentions Christ.
Catholics worship Mary.
The pope should shut up.
The pope drools.
The pope loves Saddam.
The pope is a criminal.
Catholics don't base their religion on the bible.

These are all COMMON forms of FR Catholic-bashing that have nothing to do with "disagreeing" with the Church.
