LOL. You hit the nail on the head.

The snark posters blow a lot of smoke because they hope the one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Jesus Christ Himself founded will be tarred with the same brush as the Methodist, Episcopal, Baptist, Independent, and other "Christian churches". All of those denominations preached the ordination of women was contrary to Scripture only fifty years ago but now are proud of their hundreds of women pastors. Those same churches also once refused to "marry" queers, ordain queers, and that contraption was a sin.

The loud and snarky crowd know it was the same doctrine of Self and Self Alone they profess and defend that led all those "Christian Churches" astray but hope no one will notice that fact.

The Bible teaches that the church is the pillar and bulwark of the faith and the falling away from Christianity in this country has moved in lock step with the spread of the doctrine of Self that claims there is no church other than the individual and no need for one.

Look around at the "most Christian nation in the world" where three quarters or more of the population has always been Protestant. Does the society reflect proper, unchanging, Christian, doctrine steadfast in the face of challenges?

Or, does it reflect the doctrines of men, the doctrine of Self and Self Alone that usurped the authority denominations had when even all Protestant churches taught that there were doctrines beyond individual modification they expected their members to accept and abide by rather than each one making up their own doctrine?

The doctrine of Self and Self Alone puts every individual in charge of deciding for their Self what is right and wrong, good or evil, and they even preach that the murder of infants in the womb is an acceptable exercise of "Christian Liberty" as long as it's done with "contraceptives" rather than invasive procedures.

The anti-Catholic snark crowd preach and teach the exact same Self Worship the hedonist society teaches, they just use different terms and claim God rather than Liberty dictates their views.

Naturally such people want to convince everyone they can that the Catholic Church will soon abandon what it's taught for nearly two thousand years and follow in the footsteps of those who rely on their Self and Self Alone.

Even they recognize how hard it's become to explain away their constant changes of direction in comparison to the Catholic Church teaching today the same things it's taught for nearly two thousand years.

The snarky and loud crowd seem more like raging heathens every day but they're fading fast.

They were once all over the place but now only congregate where they know they can rely on a crooked dealer to deal them their cards.

If people don't like the way Jim Robinson operates the website and the way his moderators work to ensure fairness and at least uphold a standard of decency on the Religion Forum - which shouldn't be necessary if adults monitor themselves - then they should retire their screen names and spend their time in more productive ways elsewhere. Since they have already decided to cease supporting the site, it won't be much of a loss if they self-zotted. Nobody's stopping them and they probably will not be missed!

So; what's the ONGOING price of an indulgence these days?
