You are making the argument that the Vatican should be treated as a sovereign state. This means that discussions as to the origin of the Catholic church, is probably the most crucial starting point to this discussion.

I want to be sure that we are, actually, in agreement with how the Church began, before pursuing the discussion further.

Now, please, answer the question. When did the Catholic church begin, in your estimation.

Yes, probably because it is.

Ok, so tell me. When did this sovereign state begin? That’s a crucial point to your argument.

When the Catholic Church and the sovereign city state of the Vatican were formed are two entirely different questions. Neither of them are crucial or relevant to what was originally stated.

I'm bored with the tediousness and moving on.

Oh.

So you then concede that the Vatican and the Church isn’t really the same as all the other sovereign states.

Thanks!

I’m not entirely sure how you could possibly get there from that, but you’re welcome.....for whatever.

I’m amused that your interest sudden drops off, but you seem plenty willing to smear other people.

it’s not exactly a hard question, either.

A smear would require that I state something untrue about someone's character. Nothing like that happened. This person caused their own embarrassed with a foolish claim, then added to the problem by tossing out a degree.

I wouldn't call 2 days and multiple comments "sudden." However, everything seems to fit nicely into whatever pseudo-intellectual trap you think you've constructed with what you say are easy, but nevertheless, irrelevant questions.

Glad to have entertained you. It's now past 4:30, which means quittin' time from the day's work and this exercise in futility.

BenKenobi,

edpc’s commente are the usual ones we can expect from the ignorant set. The very fact that he thinks the Vatican bureaucracy operates the same as any other shows he doesn’t even know what millions of others know. I knew it would only take one simple question to expose him. They are always so predictable.
