[Hermann the Cherusker]

Application for inclusion in the GRPL should be accompanied by a suitable historical quote.

"[The false proposition] that heretics be burned is against the will of the Spirit ... is ... in opposition to Catholic truth." (Leo X, Exsurge Domine, 33)

Hmmm ...

On second thought, toss the application Fishiness.

Leo X, meet John Huss. He's the one with the crispy brown ears and barbeque sauce on his forehead.

Hermann, I regret not being able to act on your application. Perhaps you would like to serve as the Catholic Raucus' official observer for the thread.

Nice try Hermann. Is there room for another Inquisitor Your Fishiness? Hermann would be a good candidate (and help with that inclusion of Catholics thing).

While you're insisting upon the Burning of Heretics... does kissing a Koran count as Formal Public Heresy??

You tell me, Hermann -- does laying a fat wet sloppy pucker upon the SATANIC BIBLE (and I doubt that Belloc would be any more sparing in terms) count as Formal Public Heresy??

Never mind the Apostasy, the Pederasty, the American Bishops' renunciation of Jewish Evangelism...

Those in stained-glass white-washed tombs, should perhaps not throw stones. (Given the current state of Roman Catholicism -- if DrSteveJ were a Roman Cardinal, you'd be begging God to advance his candidacy for the See of Rome.)

I submit you shouldn't toss that Application quite yet, Your Fishiness. Let's first determine of the Roman Catholics can hold their lunch down when the candidates to succeed John Paul II are announced.
