You obviously don't look very closely at who posts the vast majority of Religion Forum threads. I wonder how you can miss all the intentionally provocative threads posted BY Roman Catholics disparaging the beliefs of "Protestants" and extolling their own superior and elitist religion that ARE almost daily. Most of the threads posted on the RF by non-Catholic Christians are infrequent and NOT intended to inflame, but y'all sure do glom unto them quickly enough and turn them into flame wars. I'd be real interested in seeing a comparison of how much money Catholics donate to Free Republic compared with those who aren't.

Why not do a little soul searching and figure out why you only seem to see "mocking" when Catholicism's teachings are legitimately challenged? Nine times out of ten, it's the FRoman Catholic who ignites the first flare.

And, I will defend ANYONE'S right to post their thoughts on OPEN threads. That is the spirit of Free Republic and that freedom is even open to those who freeload and never donate a dime to this site - something JR does out of the kindness of his heart. If y'all don't like that, stay on your precious Caucus threads and you'll never have to worry about your beliefs being challenged.

You're missing the point. This isn't an issue of volume. It's about quality, or lack thereof. Coupled with the issue of intent. I'll let the individual protestants examine their conscience on what the intent of their posts are.

I've interacted with some wonderful protestants and while we may not have come to agreement their posts are taken into consideration and are appreciated for the spirit in which they are given. Which I can assure you does more for fostering that fellow Freeper dynamic you mentioned than the majority of posts by protestants.

I don't miss them. What I don't agree with is your characterization of them. Most threads posted by Catholics are designed to answer such questions as this thread, and are often responsorial in nature, i.e,"Why Catholics Don't Worship Mary."

Once again you'll forgive me if I see the source of ignition coming from somewhere else.

Why? Is this a version of, "he who pays the piper calls the tune?" If it somehow determine that Protestants give more than Catholics does this garner protestant more privilege on this site?

As has been pointed out many times before, nobody has any rights here. Once again this posts confirms that the interest of the protestant contingent is not fostering some sort of Freeper fellowship. Numbers, money, rights. None of this is applicable here.

That is obvious, but like liberals, all most RCs see are the refutations posted in response. But yet they seems compelled to post more, so let them. While grievous, by the grace of God it has served to expose the fallacious nature of Rome and RC apologetics. May we find more grace in His site to do so.
