I get the impression that it has. They are very defensive about questioning Catholic doctrine.

If you mean CF.com, they have always had a strong Catholic presence, or at least what appears to be a strong pull within management. I was banned for sarcastically responding to an atheist - forget what it was now, but he was being sarcastic with me so I saw his sarcasm and raised it, - but while it was only meant as tongue and cheek, a Catholic on staff took offense to it and had me banned.

What was your incident, if I may ask?

Asking questions and issuing replies that failed to cast the Holy See in the most favorable light possible.

It's my experience with CF.com that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, meaning it's less about what's fair and more about simply who complains the loudest. It's a big forum, and I think the staff is mostly operating on a just put out the fires principle. Not the way it should be, IMO, but they grew it so large that they kinda outgrew their ability to properly manage it. That's assuming they want it managed more strictly or if their interest was in creating tension and then feeding off of it, but that's another story for another time.

The Catholic Church is an organization that is of the world and most of its followers are cultists.

Christianforums.com?

They have become very "cult of mary" and extremely Calvinistic.

So, if you go there and you dont kneel before Mary or Calvin, you wont last long.

I was there a little while back, right after Hamas butchered the Jewish families on that horrible October morning..., and they didn't appreciate me voting for the cause of Israel, against a few Hamas supporters, who have "Jew Derangement syndrome".

"Just blame the Jews.....its all their fault, no matter what it is".

10 yrs ago, this forum was the best "christian" forum on the internet.
It offered a lot of value to new believers & had so many sub-forums that were interesting..... and was not a nest of Catholics and Calvinists as it has become.

I was on there a few years ago and got the impression that it is run by Catholics incognito. Even their logo of a cathedral gave me that impression. Or perhaps it is actually ecumenical/interfaith but run by Catholics.....a means to draw people into the Catholic fold.

I don't believe Catholics, JW's, Mormons and evangelical born again believers should be mixing together surreptitiously without everyone having their cards on the table and knowing who is who. If we were discussing spiritual things in person we generally would know, but that is not the case on a forum. I believe people should have their affiliations in their avatar. "Christian" is too broad a term.

That is not a very helpful comment. Surely, on this forum at least, we can rise above bashing other Christians.
The few ex- Catholic's that I've talked to, that become born again and left the catholic church, are the worst to attack the Catholic's. The ex JW's that become born again attack the JW's the worst, ex Mormon's after they become born again, attack the Morman's the worst. It is the same with any cult. Nobody attack's Methodist's, Baptists, or Lutheran, or others after leaving.

A Christian is someone who is born again and has the Holy Spirit. That rules out the vast majority of Catholics. Catholicism is a cult and the Lord gave me the revelation that we must be unequivocal in understanding that the spirit that rules it is not the HOLY Spirit, but another. ie, it is NOT Christian, regardless of what it calls itself, or what the world calls it. It is a counterfeit. Form of Godliness, denying the power...from such turn away.

Perhaps you've not heard......but, not everyone who claims to be a Christian, is actually a Christian, and not every Religious Organization that names the name of Christ is a Christian organization.

So, when you mix all this together on a Fourm, you are going to get Chaos, "confusion and every evil work".

Mainly, its going to be STRIFE.......and more of it, as you have the unsaved deceived religious trying to teach the bible, and that is always going to cause a forum that allows it, to be somewhat rotten.

In a Local church, you just get them OUT, so that they can't deceive your members, but a "christian" forum, in '2025, is trying to be Facebook with the word "christian" in the title, so, the people who run it, typically just let it all clash and crash.

They are cultists. They reject the scriptures in favor of the Pope and the Catechism. This is my opinion and the reader is always free to reject an opinion.

Once the discussion goes into scriptural details the Catholic apologists accuse Christians of being "haters" and then flee.

Their faith statement includes notes.

* The word "catholic" (literally, "complete," "universal," or "according to the whole") refers to the universal church of the Lord Jesus Christ and not necessarily or exclusively to any particular visible denomination, institution, or doctrine.


I've heard the site was purchased from the original owner by a Catholic group.

The original site was said to be a beautiful experience.
Sadly,after that sale that loving Christ energy has died. And now the opposite is true there.

When it comes to RC Church going People, their is huge diffrences in their opinions regarding a lot of things and a lot of them never had much regard for any Pope, even back in the 80's it was so ! and that's people that go every day as well.

So when people talk about the RCC I have to ask where are they coming from ? or regarding what ! Doctrine ? or regarding Fools within etc.

Doctrine and Pope Frances ? He was way out of control regarding Doctrine and never bothered to state why he did what he would claim ! because he has nothing to back up his stance at all, so within the Vatican this idiot Pope was called out for all such pathetic nonsense, but the moron did not go throught the correct procedure in fact, he was so stupid lazy and ignorant as hell in his duty as a Pope. no other Pope was that ignorant, but what do you expect from a Socialist !

So when talking about Doctrine, one can not just be an amature barking off on the side line with no regard, so as to the foundations of why such was set as a Doctrine ?

Things are stated as Docrine were set for good reason as foundations, they can be changed for good reason but they have to be stated in depth, not just some stupid whim or Trend, like some many shallow people claim. like Socialist always come from shallowness ! and such have no true foundations, so they just make things up as a Trend ! off with the Pixies change like the wind simpletons.

But one can argue the Point of any Doctrine, feel free in that regard to have your own opinion ! That's what forums foundations are all about.
Other than that one must be of some religious Order Group ?

Well, at least they don't allow anything Gnostic, which now that I think about it I can't say as I've seen them do that in quite some time. The whole thing about making sure what the word "catholic" means is standard practice when referring to the Creed. I'm Nicene Creed as well but not Catholic.

You'd have to get into exactly who the leadership is member for member to know what's really going on. I know Mitchie is/ was Catholic, but as for the rest I'm not really sure.

Maybe you haven't heard.. Anyone even acknowledging that Isreal is a land in the Middle East is openly denying that Jesus is the Messiah and that His covenant was fulfilled. Because if the promise was about dirt — and not fulfilled in Christ — then the cross meant nothing. Might want to get your theology in order before misleading others. The Body of Christ is Israel.

Unfortunately the Catholic church claims to be the universal church of Jesus Christ........which it decidedly is not.

Well I guess i have to point this out remove Mary and the sacraments and it all exactly the same.I have to continue.The Catholic Church is the mother church because of Mary.Surprise the sacrament have come back to the reformed Church 4 of them in different forms even communion.You don't have to be a Catholic but you have to ask yourself why you hate Jesus mother so much - does that actually make sense to you? Mary is the perfect one of us an example just to raise Jesus like God would allow it to be the way some think - really?
