I guess you’d have to ask the Reform people. I’m just a guest here.

I think we need to have a ruling whether or not using a historic creed or confession that includes terms that are offensive violate the Caucus tag. This means that heavy editing must be performed on almost any of the Reformers works.

I think a bit of indulgence must be applied, as long as the posters to a thread do not start echoing the offense. The historic roots of the Reformation are due to the break from the perceived apostasy of the RCC, and their rhetoric runs throughout all the foundational works.

Otherwise there will be important portions of these works which must be edited out. Imagine the Declaration of Independence or the Federalist Papers, or even Common Sense edited to take out the perceived insults to the British Crown. Are they there? Of course. Are they necessary to see the context? Again, of course.

IF the Reformed cannot print their doctrinal works in full, you will in sense be editing out many of the distinctives and reasons of this faith from our caucuses.

Yes, clearly a Catholic guest by your tagline regarding Mary not sinning.

Be nice.
