Second, I am simply not going to engage further until we reach an agreement about the mendacity of the initial post. I really am not. People can try to take me off topic, and I may go a little way, but I will keep coming back to the starting post.
This is not "shoot and move" combat. Your side does not get to shoot a lie at us and then shift and shoot something else from somewhere else, even were that something else to be true. Somebody has to take responsibility for what is said. First there is accountability about the lie, or there really is no point in my even reading what is written in high dudgeon, especially when it seems to be irrelevant and emotional.
From here what it too often looks like is that a thread about Catholicism or "The Vatican" is just a chance to vent. Why would I, why should I allow myself to be verbally pummeled that way? Getting clobbered, verbally or otherwise, doesn't change my mind.
Our nation is going to .ell in a hand-basket, and I observe what and who are the players involved in the 'process'. I do not keep track of posts against "The Vatican" or against those 'evil' protestants. I call them as I see them in the reality of what is literally taking place. I take literally the 'promises' made by the Heavenly Father from the beginning and HE never bound me to take any path through a flesh being. As HE sent His only Begotten Son to offer me IF I would life eternal.
