You use the cheap rhetorical device of false self-depracation.
Please at least have the sense not to put yourself in the same league as Ronald Reagan. As to the inspired apostle Paul, the self positioning is odious to say the least.
I am Pro-Life and anti- Euthanasia, how in Heaven's name you mix these non-sequiters in is not frankly to be understood. You are obviously someone who prattles on and mixes things up to such a degree that they are of no value except to stoke your own vanity.

Thank you. The Pro-Life position (which you spelled correctly in my opinion, capital "P" and "L"--wish the FR spell checker reflected this) is a noble and moral courageous stand. You are right to make a strong stand against euthanasia.

I'm not your enemy.

As far a vanity is concerned, I also accuse myself of the same.

In pointing out errors, homosexual Catholic Bishops and priests are to blame for the pedophile, rape, and corruption of young boys and men. But, connecting the heresy of Protestant Liberalism to the abominations of divorce, abortion, contraception, homosexualization, etc. are so historically evident that it's impossible to ignore it or cast it aside as non-existent. What Satan could never do externally with Protestant Revolt, Masonic Lodges in Europe, Mexico, etc., he couldn't do internally with open rebellion even within the ranks of the Vatican. Yes, the Church has had disastrous popes just as the nation of Israel has had disastrous kings. Yet, Jews and Catholics thrive in spite of human weakness. Likewise, all Christianity thrives in spite of human failings. The Holy Spirit makes it so.

Some say of the same Poles (accuse them of vanity) who prove time and again that Stalin and the Soviets were responsible for the mass murder of Katyn Forrest? It was Stalin who promoted the tactic "deny everything". Where is it that they go too far? Proving the crime, or demanding an apology? Personally, I think that the Poles today would get a better warm and fuzzy if Putin just says, "Mass murder is wrong in all cases, including what the now defunct Bolshevik Soviets did at the Katyn Forrest and Gulags. We'll never support or condone such violence nor tolerate it from our own or our neighbors." Putin wouldn't have to make promises of going after those NKVD responsible knowing that it would rip the internal order of Russians; and, Poland would be wise to not demand that (as it would create an unstable, possibly even hostile neighbor).

Thus, President George W. Bush has given American Catholics (who follow the strict orthodox of Catholic Dogma), solid confidence in Presidential leadership in spite of his not being Catholic...and even defeating a Senator who merely pretends to be Roman Catholic!

I try to be forthcoming with my errors the same way the late Pope John Paul II apologized for the misdeeds of Catholics. I accuse myself of vanity, but I doubt I'm wrong about Protestant Liberalism and its connection to the errors of the spirit of this world. What influenced such rebellion was the same spirit that encouraged the fall of man.

I don't hold you accountable for my Irish ancestors' losing their property or lives because of what Protestants did. I don't even want an apology. I wouldn't even hold you accountable for the friction my parent's Catholic and interracial marriage experienced by living as a young military family in the South (friction that could not have happened without Protestants feverishly backing the xenophobic KKK, heavily anti-Catholic even more so than it was against Jews in America, historically cannot be ignored).

Thus, it's neither frustration, rage, nor vanity that I point at was has created extreme anxiety in my life. But, Praise Jesus, the Sacraments Reconcile it; and, I even offer your attacks against me as part of the shared suffering on the cross in trying to expose errors. I hope this ends the spirit of the words you chose in describing me or my posts.
