Do you think that Free Republic is "anti-Catholic" because on OPEN Religion Forum threads the views of non-Catholics are allowed to be expressed? Have you ever looked at who posts the MAJORITY of the Religion Forum threads? It's your fellow Catholics, some of them are blatantly anti-Protestant. The Religion Moderator does a good job of policing these forums and admonishing Freepers who disobey the rules. I hope you are seeing that "making it personal" comments come from BOTH sides. That "bias" you claim to see is awfully one-sided. As is often recommended by the RM, those who cannot countenance opposition to their religious views should probably NOT read OPEN RF threads.
No. It just seems that way because of the anti-Catholic squatters who church it on the religion forum on a daily basis. Whose form of Christian fellowship is to mock fellow Christians in posts to one another.
Maybe that's to be expected. Most of the inhabitants of the RF are elderly, retired, maybe house-bound. It sure would explain a great many things. Particularly the intransigence found in the protestant contingent along with the devolution of human decency that is normally found in the elderly as they revert to childish antics.
I noticed you brought up that "who posts the most..." argument again. I also noticed you never did respond to what I had to say on the matter. Specifically that the majority of threads posted by Catholics are responsorial in addressing the claims of Protestants, i.e., "Why we don't worship Mary" etc. It's interesting that a protestant would view Catholics trying to defend their faith as anti-Protestant.
Perhaps if being a protestant didn't involve the negative proposition of being anti-Catholic it wouldn't be an issue but unfortunately it is. The inevitable consequence of having a theology that isn't so much for something, but against something else.
Twink: I understand what you're saying. Don't be disheartened by the vile actions of others.
