(483 posts)I thought this was a chat board for d/Democrats. This is encouraging bad will towards many, if not outright hatred.
We as Catholics are a quarter to a fifth of the population of the United States, and over a billion of souls about the world. We are not of one thought in theology, nor in politics, nor intensity of involvement, nor in devotion. We as Catholics do have a shared community, culture, and charity. This police trolling done by some individuals is metaphorical drive by shooting. It is also an attempt to put on notice that any one soft on "Catholicism" or on religion is to be chastised.
If this policing policy to attack Catholics were to become part of any political platform of a party that attacks so many people, that is a recipe for failure. And of the current pope: People sincerely like our Pope Francis because they see a loving man, whom shows himself lovable. Francis is a man of good will; i do not read you similarly.
I do not know the percentage of members here whom agree with your prejudice and bias; but is certainly against the spirit of civil discourse in a community. I do not remember seeing a disclaimer with the warning "No Catholics allowed".
I do not believe, we have anything in common to discuss. Go in peace.
