Two points:
1. I don't think John Paul II would object to the defense of Catholic teaching.
2. Praying consists of getting down on one's knees and actually praying - not posting comments on the internet about praying.
God bless you for your good intentions. I was hoping to create a quiet oasis free from bickering and theological argument where we can share prayers, and encourage each of us to pray for the holy father.
I am not posting comments about praying. I am praying, and I know I am not the only one doing it. Theological argument in this environment sometimes comes across like talking loudly in church during Adoration, it breaks the concentration and the fact that people of multiple faiths have joined in for prayer. If I ask the people who try to start arguments on prayer threads I started not to do it, I have to ask the ones who want to defend the faith the same thing, to choose another venue or start a thread to discuss that.
God bless, and thank you, and now I will get back to my prayers for the mercy of God.
