text: Interesting discussion. You're certainly right on one thing, chippino - Until one visits these blogs (and the social media that you mention) one has no idea how very fractured Catholicism is, or how very hostile many Catholics can be with each other!
  I'm confused by your references to "R&R", though. What does that mean?
  PS - I spent the first 18 years of my life within hailing distance of Crouch End. Small world.
