I agree with gbcdoj. There. No need to referee. The cardinal said something that I do not believe needs to be emphasized.

However, you and Irish guy make it out like it is another Assisi or something and it is not. You remind me of the Pharisees who were scandalized because Jesus Christ ate with public sinners. Did Christ hammer them right away and condemn them? In most, incidents, he gradually led them along. Perhaps there is a basis in our approach in his example? Or is the Sacred Scripture not "traditional" enough for you?

[Land of the Irish]

In most, incidents, he gradually led them along.

When did Christ ever say "it is important that each person remain loyal to his or her own faith"?

That's leading them along?

"The cardinal said something that I do not believe needs to be emphasized."

Oh, but it most certainly does. It contradicts the doctrine of the Catholic Church.

But as to the fact that you don't believe it needs to be emphasized, that makes sense. If I were on your side of the fence, I wouldn't want to see it emphasized either.
