Don’t waste my time. Don’t post to me.

I don't take orders from you, specially when it's plain you cannot defend the claim that Bergoglio is not truly Roman Catholic, and was in fact duly elected as 'pope' of that ecclesiastical organization.

You should have never pissed me off -- by first wasting MY time telling me what I allegedly did not understand, dragging that out from among your own vain imaginings.

I could say "don't waste my time, and the time of a majority of freepers by posting the same Romish self-justification, 'round and about explanations for why the sky is some 'special' color in Cath-o-lic land, resulting in a pope himself being not Catholic --enough. Stop posting that stuff on FR altogether.

Would that be fair, for me to say that? If not, then why not? You just told me "do not post to me". Take some of your own medicine, doc.

You people have been wasting the rest of ours' time by the 24-hour clock full, for years, on this inside-baseball nonsense that although does affect the outer world, surely enough -- does so chiefly because so many have been brainwashed into thinking the Latin Church had some special somethings no one else the world over had, or could ever have (except for the Orthodox when they not serve as bus-wheel cobble, sort-of like most anyone else who had differences with the Church of Rome over the claims it makes for it's own self).

Instead of all this studious distancing from Bergoglio (claiming he's not actually Catholic -- the critics all apparently being more 'Catholic' the the pope) stick with explaining the reasons why what Bergoglio chooses to say -- although perhaps sounding good on superficial levels, does not and can not work if what he recommends leads to applying finishing touches to the slow-motion cultural implosion and destruction Western Civ.

Work at explaining that (rather than mere shoot-from-the-lip argument by way of collected assertion) and you may have something. Until then, this 'Bergoglio is not a Catholic!' type of commentary is just so much noise, wasting people's time, irritating many, possibly driving people away from Christianity itself, and assuredly encouraging hard-heartedness & schism within Roman Catholicism itself.

Maybe after all these decades it could be recognized that difference of opinion, although bringing along with themselves many negative side-effects, is not in and of itself an altogether bad thing? I do believe many Roman Catholics have already recognized this, although there are still far too many who blindly react, searching for some "perfect" Catholicism which may have never existed in the first place.

Things could have been perfect at any one time and place, but alas, human beings got in the way and messed it all up.
