What IS good, and how do we determine it?

[Metis]

I won't lie I do have some questions about Catholicism, but they are not ones I can ask. I have been a member of Catholic Answers for long enough to observe how any thread about anti-semetism in Catholicism or any thread in which any inconsistencies within Church doctrine are pointed out results in an immediate ban for the party that dared to ask. I remain silent there, but on a forum where we actually do have free speech I thought I'd take the opportunity to ask a Catholic apologist about it.

Interesting...

Yeah, I'm not trying to say they're anti-semtic since on there they aren't, they vehemently deny it and talk about any Jewish friends they might have and reference someone who hid a few Jews under their floorboards during World War II.

They don't take well to criticism though, if it looks at any point like a hole has been exposed in a Catholic argument or that the Non-Catholic might be winning the debate they usually shut it down with a ban. It's Catholic alright, but there's no answers to difficult questions on there

The Jew topic has come up quite a few times though and none of the apologists there seem to really want to explain it. Another one they don't like is "Natural Law" a.k.a: "Body parts can only be used for a specific purpose and it's wrong to use them for something different or change them, so dicks up the butt are bad but boobjobs are totally cool" (you can really tell it was men who came up with this right?). Unless you're a transsexual of course, then you're a godless heathen going to hell for "perverting Gods wonderful design".

The only mod warning I've ever had there was for questioning that. "So if sex change ops are perverting Gods wonderful design why is it bad to remove a kids brain tumor?" Three day suspension and ten "points"
