Why do R C fear debate more than other Christians?
I was born R C but my respect for my own has been steadily eroded by the fact that I have been ejected, from most R C forums that I have found and joined. Sometimes with no reason given and once simply because of my name and avatar.
The tolerance that I find in these R C sites is basically non existent and even before posting anything I look at various topic and see that the closed ones are mostly those that go towards debate.
In looking at various posters that are banned I see that some are banned for fairly non controversial subjects and that few debates on the morals of scripture are allowed.
I do tend to get in some trouble at some Fundamental sites but see some tolerance in most of them.
R C sites though are what I would call fully intolerant.
Do R C fear debate that much that their moderators must be so intolerant that no decent from the status quo dogma is allowed?
Why do they show such fear of normal debate?
Is it the same mind set that made the old Church brand scientists as heretics if their science did not back up the Church view, or is the fear of debate they show from some other source?

Roman Catholic?
There is no debate in Roman Catholicism, truth is dictated to the massed by the Pope.

True to most issues.
The Carmelite branch though seems to be more enlightened. They believe in evolution and the idea that there is no hell. Not the usual Catholic line.

The Pope has said that evolution is not incompatible with the Catholic religion.
@Greatest I am cv,
dear "Greatest I am" in my opinion your name and avatar is creative, it is funny. It is also thought provoking, i.e. who would be the "great i am"? In fact it made me feel to change my own to something as.......challenging!
This would also suggest that those mentioned in your script, lack a decent sense of humour!!!

True , as long as science stops at the big bang. The Popes give anything before that to God.
Time will tell if we can ever see to before the bang.
