Ah, no where in his post did he say that the Irish surnamed Priest was a former Catholic. In this country he could have been a former buddhist or his parents could have been a mixed marriad.

Your assumption and subsequent diatribe reveals the extent of your bigotry.

Of course your apparent assumption that the priest only chose to be Orthodox because he couldn't handle celibacy reeks of respect for others.

I guess you didn't bother reading the post to which I was replying. It ended:

I suppose he felt the call of priesthoood but couldn't handle celibacy. ;-)

But sure, and the Irishman who felt the call to the priesthood and ended up Eastern Orthodox could have been fleeing the demands of the Buddhist monkhood, and not acknowledging this makes one a bigot. Give me a break. I guess you're just so insecure that enumerating serious points of difference between the Orthodox and the Latin church, and suggesting that someone might choose Holy Orthodoxy over the Roman Papacy because of substantive issues even if he was raised in the Latin church counts as a 'diatribe' and 'bigotry', too.

Thin skinned taking of offense at perceived 'bigotry' is more suited to DU than FR. Learn civility--it's a conservative virtue.
