text: Excellent comment, mgardener.   I too miss the informative discussions we once had at the NCR website before the strident professed militant Catholics arrived,  and I too find that I must take frequent breaks from what is currently passing for discussion but more often degenerates into who is a "real Catholic" and who is not, ...and even worse.  We have lost some wonderful discussion participants because of the latter situation.  This editorial is spot-on.
