Your vitriol is so refreshing and now we're back to where you started. This "loathesome" charge of yours is precisely why I posted the reply which you quoted almost verbatim and directed to me - except you put novus ordo in front of it. Perhaps you should use your own words rather than quoting others. I have been called a Protestant on this thread for the first time, and now you pile more insults on the heap, although I'm not at all sure what they mean. A leftish? - is that a word? - a "leftish fool" and an "integralist extremist". My, oh, my. Since I don't know what the latter term means, maybe I'll want to be one. I notice you called in the troops. Can't you handle this alone? I wonder how one "purposefully torments" the Pope? Do they put a burr under his chair?
Do a web search to find out what it means - though you seem smart enough to figure it out by yourself.
I know you know full well what "leftish" means.
And the troops were notified - not called in. They may wish to kow who is who at FR. I am letting them in on your leanings - though perhaps it is no secret. The troops know full well I can handle a discussion with an integralist extremist.
I see you won't admit the obvious fact that you made an erroneous assumption in 170. Sorry to see that, laurO.
And perhaps you are confusing me with sinkspur - the poster to whom you responded in 105.
