I’ve only read one of his books and wasn’t that impressed with it. Digital Fortress

I'll do what I wish to do on FR. I never go to the Religious Forum - ever. I only see what comes across my screen when I hit “articles.” So, for the most part, I'm not on these threads - especially since the sad posting demise of rn mom. But this one showed up and I responded. And I still think it's weird for a Catholic to open up a discussion to people who hate the Church. It's not like one learns anything from the non-Catholics. In general, it's vituperation and childish insults followed by endlessly ridiculous photos of decorated skeletons. And what kind of mind - aside from gay men and Hollywood - thinks about Mary's sex life???

I saw that too after I typed my first opinion. Obviously, I was mistaken.

I hope that you will reconsider. You can always take a break and then come back.

Please don’t let the insults of a few bigots drive you away. Their mindless but incendiary crap is designed to be as hurtful as possible. It’s not remotely the general opinion of the vast majority of FR posters.

Tumble with American believers—from your cyber cafe in Mumbai, no less!—and you will get BLOWBACK.

PC troubles taking the life out of you? Yeah, probably a good idea to close up shop and shut down that blog.

Are you defending the Mormon cult?

[miss marmelstein]

No, I’m not defending the Mormon cult, you childish person you. I’m just sick of the hate you guys spread around.

[BlueDragon]

Same to you.

It is still an insult directed at the Mother of God.

It is possible to discuss the pros and cons of the dogma of the perpetual virginity of Mary without hurling sneering insults at Mary.

[ealgeone]

Paul was accused probably of the same thing when he was pointing out false teachings of the Judaizers in Galatians.

It is not "hate" to point out false teachings.

“It is possible to discuss the pros and cons of the dogma of the perpetual virginity of Mary without hurling sneering insults at Mary.”

Such as I did by quoting Pascal? Yes, I don’t like some of the things I’ve read either re: Mary. I’m moved by what the Spirit records concerning her. That’s why I think it’s a trap to a) make too much of her (going beyond what is written) and then b) trying to cut the fantasy “Mary” down to size. Only Satan could mastermind such a double-bind for us believers to be vexed by.
