Where you fail I succeed, where I fail you succeed. In each instance God chooses the most effective means to his ends. I reject a one size fits all approach to apologetics. I also reject the notion that allowing someone to wallow in error out of deference to some misguided notion of kindness or "open mindedness" is a Christian act. I try and treat all of my bothers and sisters with respect but that doesn't mean that I have to coddle the twaddle, that is not an act of kindness.
Why are you so open minded to the opinions of nonbelievers yet so hard hearted to the message of unity that the pope has put forward to the Orthodox?
I submit that you have exchanged a sensation of "power and strength" for a sensation of pious superiority. Hardly a worthy exchange.

But I actually like your pope these days. I just don't want to bow to him.
