I don't condone imposing religion on others but I'll fight tooth and nail for his right to speak about whatever he wants as long as its not obviously inappropriate. He shouldn't be banned if he's not being disruptive, rude, mean, or intolerant. From what I've heard, he never disrespected or belittled the beliefs of non-catholics, he was merely preaching his own beliefs. Is it a good idea to preach in a chat room? No. Will people like it? Nope. Will it likely convert anybody anyway? Nope. But he still has the right to do so. You can't just ban someone for expressing his beliefs. You have to stop looking at it from the point of view that "he is annoying everyone" and realize that fundamentally he isn't doing anything wrong.
