Change in policy

Sad to say it's come to this, but I suppose it was inevitable.

Safe As Houses now operates under a policy of approving comments. The past few weeks have unleashed a spate of random anonymous comments that, at times, are unrelated to the posts at hand and offer no serious discussion on the postings and typically feature unfair, dubious and immature attacks on other commenters.

I've always worked to make this a blog that appreciates and welcomes serious discussion from varying ideological, philosophical and theological spectrums. But I'm not going to have commenters who lack the guts to put even a psuedo-name on their submissions, yet feel they have carte blanche to randomly and rudely attack other readers and their views on this blog.

In addition, you now have be a registered user to submit comments for consideration. Again, I apologize for the change in policy.

Difference of opinion - even passionate differences of opinion - is welcome and encouraged. Blasphamizing traditional Catholic prayers to falsely lampoon the beliefs of others is not.
