I do neither.
Then again, I’m not the one hearing things.

Do they burn weed as incense in your Romanist Church that causes you to howl?

OK I resolve to make it none of my business.
I will state, however, that the original poster who proposed a Roman Catholic Theocratic government replete with the defense of the Inquisition -— and whose posts I passed around on certain Jewish webboard, probably stupidly -— successfully insured that large numbers of otherwise-converative Jewish people will never align themselves with the Republican party.
Pretty much confirmed the worst fears of what certain Christian groups are all about.

Lol.
Read "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism" by Max Weber.
It will clarify a lot of your misconceptions.

Seriously. Get help.

Is it the holy water? Do they taint the holy water? Is that the problem?

Read "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism" by Max Weber. When the Pilgrims first arrived they set up a communist system and they all nearly starved as a result. This is not opinion, this is historical fact.
I do not dispute that they later adopted a work ethic and prospered, but so did Catholic, Anglican and Quaker colonists.

How about the wafers? Have you checked them? Are they mixing anything in with the flour?

Apparently the two of you would have preferred the Pilgrims set up a Walmart as soon as they debarked the Mayflower.
And maybe a drive-thru Starbucks.
The Pilgrims' "collectivism" was simply an expedient means of surviving in a hostile world when they had very few supplies.
Read Max Weber"s "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism."
It's obvious the Pilgrims knew more about capitalism than many Roman Catholics on this forum (and certainly on this monarchy-loving thread.)

Your question was a good one.
I would agree the church of Rome (the papacy, the Roman Catholic church, the Vatican) is the antithesis of individual liberty, freedom of conscience and initiative, capitalism and world peace.
Anyone who reads Ratzinger's "global authority" encyclical can recognize the fascist tyranny inherent in it.

What about the juice? Have they juiced the juice? Did you consider that?

The Pilgrims' "collectivism" was simply an expedient means of surviving in a hostile world when they had very few supplies.And when that expedient means--their first impulse--failed fantastically, they were forced to consider capitalist methods.
Just like Lenin and the NEP.

Of course you changed his post by rewriting his post and then responding to it in italics as if that was his original comment.
Do you actually think God appreciates that kind of falsehood and deceit?
We've heard certain RCs believe telling lies is permissible if those lies move the agenda along.
Apparently we're witnessing that maneuver firsthand.
As I said, if you keep doing this under-handed posting, be prepared to find yourself on the receiving end of it.

His post, #128, remains exactly as he posted it.
Another false statement by Dr. Eckleburg, as is per usual.

Dr. Eckleburg threatening to produce under-handed posts is like Ahmedinejad threatening to start hating Jews.
