For starters, if you wish to be respected, it would help not to exaggerate, distort, misrepresent. Branding your fellow Catholics on Free Republic as papalolaters and saying that they DEFINE Catholicism via personality cult of the present pope is a bit overwrought, dontcha think?
When you fairly and accurately represent the views of those you disagree with, perhaps we could begin to discuss l’affaire Verdugo. But let me give you a hint: you’re not alone in misrepresenting and caricaturing the views of those you oppose.
I'm not Catholic. I thought I made that clear.
