I am suggesting it exists at the same level as anti-protestantism does. Neither should be used to permanently ban a poster, which was the suggestion that prompted my initial response at post 126
Can you cite examples of Catholics purposely fabricating quotes? At what level should someone be banned?
I never said any one was fabricating quotes...i am not sure where you are coming from with that comment.
That’s a good question, because I don’t think it’s been officially addressed,
Statement by the founder of Free Republic:
In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I’m trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.
Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.
We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.
Our God-given liberty and freedoms are not negotiable.
May God bless and protect our men and women in uniform fighting for our freedom and may God continue to bless America.”
Jim Robinson
although this portion may somewhat apply if one squints: :)

Oh, I thought you said you lurked for a long time.
What about trying to pass off personal websites of say Jewish psychics as "official" Catholic websites, are you familiar with that approach?
Thanks for the info...but I can tell you I am hardly liberal and hardly a troll.....I was just exercising my freedom to disagree with the suggestion about banning someone else.
Like I said much earlier:
“Perhaps some folks are being too sensitive and not grounded enough in their own beliefs to weather the storm of opposing comments.”
huh?????
Yep, it happened.
Yes, it did happen.
Thank you. What others believe or say, doesn’t interfere with what I believe.
What a stupid line, you mean.
Christians worship a God who was whipped, spat on, taunted, and nailed to a tree on the orders of a pagan Roman governor. How or why is that any more scandalous than worshipping a God rats can eat?
oh, i thought you were inferring that I did that :)
No, I’m just said that it’s been done, along with FReepers fabricating quotes and then saying the quotation can be found on “thousands” of Catholic websites.
