[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any of you realize how anti-Catholic this thread is?  Why is it okay to bash Catholics in such a way?  Imagine a thread that was titled, "Why are Jewish people so cheap?"  Do you think that would survive this long?  [/quote]

This thread is not anti Catholic.

If you want an anti Catholic thread, find one on any sacraments (particularly Catholic marriage or baptism), picking a Catholic church, returning to Catholicism...the list goes on.

There is a lot of hatred towards Catholics on dcum and you don't have to look hard to find it.

However, this thread is really not one of those places.[/quote]

Sorry, but this thread is most definitely anti-Catholic.  I guarantee, you would never get away with a thread like this speaking about Jews or Muslims.[/quote]

Have you read any of the Bar Mitzvah threads?

There is plenty of discussion about behaviors of excess, drinking, partying in those threads.

This particular thread is not criticizing theology, religious practice, religious preference, Catholic beliefs, Catholic faith traditions, the choice to become Catholic, raising children as Catholic, getting married in the Catholic church, revisiting the Catholic faith, conversion, or any of the hundreds of Catholic topics that are usually bashed openly on dcum.

This thread is a mostly lighthearted poke at a subset of Catholic culture with many Catholic posters participating, including those of us who went to Catholic school as children and remember the alcohol flowing at Catholic social events.

It is not anti-Catholic to joke about a subculture of our religion that is common and well known.

Talking about drinking at weddings, auctions and Octoberfests is not bashing the Catholic faith or Catholic community[/quote]
