All Catholics cannot be put in one category to be bashed.

Likewise, all Protestants cannot be put in one category to be bashed.

Simple enough for me.

When I say Protestants and Catholics and/or any other religion, what is being talked about are the doctrines and teachings from the group in question.

And whatever individual you’re talking to ... they are going to be adhering to those doctrines and teachings, for themselves and telling others that they should adhere to them.

SO Catholic bashing and Protestant bashing ... is ... bashing whatever those doctrines and teachings are, which are being discussed, by that individual who is bringing it up.

It’s ALL FAIR GAME ... and you’ll notice that it is EXPLICITLY fair game in the guidelines for the Religion Forum on Free Republic, in the “open” category. At least Free Republic recognizes Catholic bashing and Protestant bashing (and other religious bashing) in terms of the “systems being talked about.

Whatever happened to Catholic unity? One faith and all that?

Y'all don't have any choice about obeying and agreeing with Catholic teaching.

Are you now throwing your fellow Catholics under the bus?

Likewise, all Protestants cannot be put in one category to be bashed.

We've been telling y'all that for years.

Hallelujah!!!!

Something finally sunk in.

Unfortunately if you respond to something from a specific person you are “making it personal.” Both sides are limited to broad statements.

You might say “your belief in ****” is misguided” and you’ve violated the rules. However if you say “Catholics/Protestants belief of ****” is acceptable even if it’s not accurate.

Seems simple enough for me too. What saddens me, is all those snow flakes falling, and you know what that means. It doesn't have to be that way. God bless us all, and may He reveal Himself to millions.
