Reply #25: Welcome! I don't know which sandbox you refer to

[DemBones DemBones]

but I have noted a lot of peeing in several sandboxes in this neighborhood. Some of our fellow DUers are simply not house-broken; probably need crate training.

:shrug:

When I proposed the group, I wanted a place where Catholic and Orthodox Christians (there are a few at DU who belong to or attend one of the Eastern Rite churches) could all be comfortable and attacks on our beliefs would not be allowed -- it's in the guidelines. But anyone is certainly welcome, whether a Christian or Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, agnostic, atheist, as long as they play by our rules of respecting the Catholic Church's teachings, hierarchy, etc. That doesn't mean people can't discuss issues, can't say they disagree with the pope or this bishop or that one, or even that they don't agree with a particular Church teaching, only that they have to be respectful in doing so. IN OTHER WORDS, NO PEEING IN THIS SANDBOX!!!

As of yet, we haven't had too many theological discussions, unfortunately. That's largely, I think, because we're all stretched so thin, trying to keep up with all the issues everyone at DU is concerned about, trying to calm the constant outbursts against the Church, the Pope, etc., etc., and trying to have some liturgical threads, too.

Again, Welcome! :hi:
