... we have the safe haven rule. Nobody is allowed to debate unless you are a member of that community. And even if you are, you can not argue the Faith as it is taught.
You would have to state what kinds of Catholic would qualify. I don't belong to any of the denominations I know exclusively, therefore there have never been grounds for them to maintain it was wrong of me to consider myself a catholic. The site doesn't allow to call oneself "multi denominational".
I don't find Rome teaches convincingly on some points (and asking has only got me sucked into some terrible situations not of my making - which I have actually described to some extent), though of course there are huge areas of overlap with all the other churches. Thus I would be happy discussing here, if the parameters of the new section were made clear enough to not trap me, e.g "Committed Romans only" or "CCC adherents only" (I was deemed to have been made Roman though denied teaching). Perhaps you should specify participants by nationality also?
Then again "arguing (I don't know whether you mean arguing against, or do you mean unpacking and examining?) as it is taught (whatever taught means)". What I'm trying to point out, sound criteria have to be soundly conveyed to ask some people not to contribute.
While Rome told me I was a Roman, and while it gave me elaborate non-answers, it turns out there were unspoken grades or gradations of unacknowledged initiation. In my neighbourhood as a youngster Masses were the only thing going, nothing else, and my parents and grandparents hadn't had any instruction and as I keep reporting very strange events ensued when I enquired further for myself (several clergy had between 1977 and 1984, in two different parts of the country, already warned me not to).
In England generally catholics are only nominally Roman whereas in the US by contrast you all seem to have the heavy package. Cultural expectations lead to mismatches. Certainly I'd enjoy carrying on pitching in here. A strange feature is inexplicable titles for forum sections - I wouldn't have known what "St Justin Martyr" meant apart from an individual.
What I'm trying to say is, a lot of people who were told they were "Catholics" i.e in the circumstances RC, aren't: I suspect England isn't the only such country. Teaching has got to be paraphrasable and then examined to potentially make sense. Otherwise we have no idea what a teaching is. I'm not Roman even though Rome said I was, and it has trapped my affections.
I'm actually interested in giving to its members. A priest thanked me for enhancing the RCIA session about 2 years ago (giving him courage to interrupt a deacon who was pooh poohing Scriptures, which I got the impression he didn't usually dare). It's important to remember not to post any topic in such a section if particpation doesn't strictly need to be limited. Some people flag a thread "such & such people only" and these are listed (with their authors) among the others so one can see what's going on properly.
If you like, pose me a question (either in a thread or by PM) inviting an appropriate level of dissection of points of doctrinal investigation so that you can help me give myself an acceptable label e.g "Honorary Catholic Class 3 and three quarters", I would sincerely enjoy that and be happy to exempt myself where I wasn't wanted as long as you didn't hog topics anyone can legitimately join in. At the moment, I might just say my piece if there is a thread that is sort of "catholick-ish" (and perhaps has gone down well-ish at times).
(Note, I've got no problem with Our Lady up to the standards of my young day, nor with Saints nor Purgatory.)
