How did you decide that I had somehow said you were the spanish inquisition? In my comment I made mention of a link that was given some time ago to a "hard core" anti-Vatican II website filled with photos of Pope Paul on toPope John Paul. Pics that "Showed" their crimes against the church in meeting with the leaders of other religions, and the site was filled with hateful rhetoric concerning these men calling them apostates and such.

That was the site that wished for the days killing heretics and etc. to come back.

And from what the other person Posted he had been horrified at what he had seen at that site as well.

So what do you do or say that might make you inject yourself into this context -- I want to understand?

I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition....

This is a quote from your post that I responded to. For those of us who know Monty Python's famous skit "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!" I assumed it was your reference which is why I talked about the "comfy chair." No matter, I guess you're not familiar with this piece of Python television history. But, when I read it I thought, "Ah, an anti-Catholic with a sense of humor." That's what I thought I was responding to.

The web sites you are referring to are indeed a source of pain for many of us Catholics but then we are used to being attacked from without and from within. The Church (meaning the Roman Catholic Church), is attacked just as our Lord was attacked when He was with us on Earth. He was attacked by those who could not accept Him from without and from within His circle of disciples, by those who could not accept what He taught once they did know Him. (This is a referrence to John Chapter 6 and of course...to Judas.)
