I am glad to post on this forum but I will not continue to
post if the questions become argumentative or controversial. I have sent the Form hostess some bulletins
and also some pictures which may not be in good enough condition to be used on the forum. Any way I will post from time to time if the questions get out of hand.

"I am glad to post on this forum but I will not continue to

Understandable. And that's exactly why I created this forum. There are few places on the Net where you can discuss your religion w/o causing a problem (whatever religion you are), but it's especially true for Catholics. To many (too many), Catholicism is fair game, and they don't think there is anything wrong w/ what they do. It's as if making horrible (and unfounded), prejudiced remarks about Catholicism and Catholics is in the same category as calling the devil evil. To them Catholicism is an evil that needs to be exposed and they have no conscience when it comes to that prejudice. They would never do the same to Judaism or Jews. Muslims are in their crosshairs, though.

Anyway, I'm commited to keeping this forum a safe place for Catholics to post. This is intended to be a friendly place that welcomes questions and comments from anyone of any faith, but this forum is not the place to vent anti-Catholic prejudice. If anyone intends to use it in that way, they'll be gently reminded of the infraction once. After that, they will not be allowed to post or view messages.

I don't mean to sound like a tyrant. This forum is primarily for discussing the Catholic faith and other issues, with a distinctly Catholic viewpoint. This isn't to marginalized other viewpoints. It's merely to give Catholics a friendly place on the Net.

In other places on the Net, it's friendly for Catholics so long as they don't add their Catholic viewpoint. If one dares to state a Catholic viewpoint, the wolves are encouraged to attack. That won't happen here.

Joan
