I know Ph.Ds who are idiots also. But that was not my point. My point was that I was not lacking in literacy, that my comments about this pope were reasoned and based on facts. As for the Pope's style--I have yet to find anyone who can tell me what Crossing the Threshold of Hope was all about--or Redemptor Hominis. What does he mean when he says "Man is the path the Church must follow?" Such a sentiment is strange coming from a pope--and hardly even Catholic. Man should be following the Church, not the other way around. And both should be following Christ.

There is no denying that you do make some great points. "Man is the path the Church must follow" is a very troubling sentence, I agree. I will have to wait until I read Threshold of Hope and Redemptor Hominis before any more comments. What year were they published?

Yeah--'man' is the path the Church must follow.

Difficult concept, eh? Do you recall who IS the 'man' the Church must follow?--the Man-in-Full? The very MODEL of 'man'?

Or is that just a little too challenging for you?

At some point, you may understand allegory. Take up the subject in your next Ph.D.
