“You know, I always thought if someone made a claim, it was up the person MAKING the claim to show the documentation and support.”

You know, I have always known that anti-Catholics are generally intellectually lazy. If I state a fact - and I know it is a fact - and I just checked this fact on the internet this morning using google, then I expect the average lazy anti-Catholic can rouse himself from his intellectual laziness and use google just as easily as I did. Perhaps I’m mistaken. Each and every time an anti-Catholic has said, “No way, that ain’t true” about something that exists, I have shown it does. I am tired at how incredibly ignorant and lazy anti-Catholics. Why don’t they read books? I don’t know. Why don’t they actually effectively study the Bible? I don’t know. Why don’t they read more of the internet than just anti-Catholic websites? I don’t know. All I know is that google works pretty well and I’ sure I am not the only one who knows how to use it.

“Funny now that it’s the responsibility of the audience.”

Funny how you seem to think that an anti-Catholic posting to me is an “audience” rather than a participant.

“It’s up to you to show the documentation... otherwise, for all I or anyone else knows, there is NO proof.”

Believe what you want. Anyone can use google. If you are so dependent upon me for information, then go ahead and say that you need me to find basic information for you.

“Except, I suppose, for you.”

I think it’s better that anti-Catholics stop being intellectually lazy.

Intellectual laziness has nothing to do with it, unless it's on the part of someone posting things without attribution. That's what seems lazy to me. Attribution is a simple way of making it easy for the reader to actually see the source of a point and therefore determine the viability of the point straight away.

If I state a fact - and I know it is a fact - and I just checked this fact on the internet this morning using google, then I expect the average lazy anti-Catholic can rouse himself from his intellectual laziness and use google just as easily as I did.

Really. You state a fact. Okay. Well, what terms did you use to search for in Google? What didn't you exclude or include? How is he "average lazy anti-catholic" supposed to do if he doesn't know WHAT you searched for of HOW you searched for it? I suppose we lazy anti-catholics are going to have to learn to read your mind so that we can then go out, and satisfy you by searching for the "facts" on Google.

You see, if you attribute the source, one can see that the fact is actually, a fact.

Or not.

Until mind reading becomes a commonplace event, it's going to be mighty hard to satisfy your request. But, If you want to actually appear to be using trustworthy "facts," it's up to you to provide it to us lazy anti-cathoics. Otherwise, we could just assume your "facts" are made up from whole cloth.
