"Cardinal Burke, Alluding to Fatima, Calls for Hierarchical Opposition to the Errors of Bergoglianism
Why do you imagine this can be a "Catholic Caucus" thread when the article denigrates "Protestant ecclesial communion(s)" as abandoning the Christian faith?
It’s his own private little blog spot.
I missed that. I have asked the moderator to remove the caucus designation.
typically the excerpt ends with a plea to Mary to preserve their church...
Do you READ the articles you post???
Unfair. Once in awhile this happens, but I have noticed that ebb tries to do a better job of catching this. He made a mistake. Let it go.
Let it go? It was in the very first sentence of the article! That’s why I asked if it was read before it was posted.
Yes, let it go. You didn’t ask if he read this article. You asked whether he reads the articles he posts...plural. I’m sure he read the article. He messed up this time. I know that there are times when I slip up when I post in a Catholic Caucus and refer to non-Catholic churches/religions. Sometimes I catch myself, sometimes I don’t.
Why don't you backtrack a little (this isn't a long thread) and see the CONTEXT of why I asked the question. Rather than picking on poor ET - like you seem to be implying - it was a legit question. He opened this thread as a Catholic Caucus (a category we already know is used to avoid dissenting dialog). That's why I challenged it:

As you can see it was a legitimate question to ask seeing the word "Protestant" was in the first sentence, it has happened more than a few times and this poster has a regular habit of attacking non-Catholic Christians. Maybe you should "let it go".
Actually the quote you cited doesn’t say the Protestant ecclesial communion(s) “abandoned the Christian faith”, rather that the converts to the Catholic Church believe they did. It’s a subtle yet distinct difference which in my opinion would have still permitted the Caucus label.
But I guess that horse has done left the barn already. So, on with the usual bash fest (from both “sides” mind you), full steam ahead!
Why is it a "bash fest" just because a non-Catholic disagrees with a Catholic??? I think people who cry "bashing, bashing" whenever their beliefs are challenged lack the temperament to participate on OPEN RF threads. P or C. It doesn't have to be like that.
I didn't say your concern wasn't legitimate. What I did say was let it go. Because, by the time I posted that, you were still harping on the issue...to the point where you questioned whether he read ANY of the articles he posted, not just this one.
Well, just keep bumping the thread so everyone can follow it, too. Why can’t YOU let it go?
Within 30 minutes of your first post, #2, I asked the moderators to remove the caucus designation and I responded to you. Yet over 2 hours after that, you refused to “let it go” in your post #6.
There are reason why I caucus some of my threads, you are one of them.
Read it again. It doesn't say the "Christian" faith, it says the Apostolic faith.
Read boatbums' post #2 again; and then read the article again.
It was she who replaced "Apostolic Faith" with "Christian faith".
Nah...I think the TRUE reason is that you cannot tolerate anyone disagreeing with you. Those who are secure in their faith and know why we believe what we believe are not afraid to participate on open religion forum threads. Are you claiming you have never tried to sneak anti-Protestant thoughts into Catholic Caucus threads? Your reputation is not ahead of you on this.
I don’t care what you think.
Additionally, I don’t camp on Free Republic or the Religion Forum. When I replied to your post doesn’t matter. You said you “missed it” that the article talked about Protestants. I asked how you could have missed it when the very first sentence contains the word. It wasn’t the first time you have posted Catholic Caucus threads that had to be changed to OPEN, was it?
Here’s a thought...why don’t you just open and post on Catholic Trad/SSPX Caucus threads that way you won’t have to defend your beliefs from non-Catholic Christians OR Roman Catholics who don’t agree with you?!
