Yes, I know you fashion yourself the theology expert of the Catholic faith but your holier than thou attitude doesn't fly with me especially after your dismissal of LDS baptisms. Your eyes may be wide open but your mind is closed. No, you don't have to get back to me.

Dear mtbopfuyn,

"No, you don't have to get back to me."

I know I don't have to, but I really don't mind. ;-)

"Yes, I know you fashion yourself the theology expert of the Catholic faith..."

LOL. No, I depend on others for the expertise. We have a number of Catholics here who are very, very knowledgeable about Catholic theology. I'm not one of them. But I've learned a lot hanging out here. But for me, it's enough of an effort just to try to obey.

"...but your holier than thou attitude doesn't fly with me..."

Should I exhibit such an attitude, I apologize.

"...after your dismissal of LDS baptisms."

But I don't have a "holier-than-thou" attitude for that reason, certainly not. I don't dismiss LDS baptisms. The Catholic Church does. I accept the teaching of the Church.

"Your eyes may be wide open but your mind is closed."

Well, on this point, my mind is open. I'd accept the teaching of the Church on this point even if I didn't understand it. But I understand why the Church teaches what she does, and it makes sense to me. In my own mind.

I guess that offends you. I regret if it offends you, but I can't offer you any apologies for it.
