Seems like the RCs have a wee problem in dealing with RC homosexuals in the ranks.

The Church has been having "wee problems" like this for 2,000 years. It's a badge of honor and a fulfillment of a Divine promise of Jesus to the Apostles.

Nevertheless, it's great to see you all concerned about the Catholic Church's battles with the hedonists. Your support is much appreciated. I guess when you're only a peripheral figure in this war, the battles of the major players take on a certain fascination.

At least that's how it appears. There's seldom any positive news on here of your own confessions' contributions to this war. Only exultation about the vicissitudes of the Catholic Church's battles. And if you have no problems with the militant homosexuals it's either because they don't consider you to be an enemy of any significance or you've already capitulated.

I guess it's true what they say about the negativity and misery of Calvinism. It must be sad to define yourself only in opposition to another's profession. Your tagline is a fine example. I don't see too many Catholics whose taglines are devoted to Calvin or Luther. That's because we have an identity which is sufficient in and of itself.

Let's see you all start to paint a positive picture of your own faith which stands entirely alone and doesn't rely on any reference to what "that lot" are up to.

They have none; their whole identity is wrapped up in their repudiation of Catholicism. Some of them even seem to be proud of that fact.

I believe they said the same thing to Jeremiah. Perhaps it isn't negativity or misery that we're painting but simply sounding an alarm bell. In typical fashion the Church willing to say their having a "wee" problem sounds much like the skipper of the Titanic saying they hit a "wee" iceburg.
