I just think your hearts are better than your heads.

In my case that wouldn't be remarkable.

What, on the ground: is the canonical meaning of anathema. You ARE excommunicated, what's the big deal about that? But anathema, yeah, them's fightin' words. So let's look at it some.

Not me. You see, I believe that the current group of evangelical RC folks are alot more amiable than Trent. I am not lying when I say I love you guys, and I fully expect to see you in heaven. I would say odds are that most of the folks who wrote the stuff up in 1547 are dead now, and so God can deal with them in his own infintely wise manner. I am not going to fight anyone over this.

I just think before we break out a round of "We are the world" that we should all know the official stance of the church......... I am lying. I am just having a little malicious delight in all this, and I like to rag on you folks sometimes. That HAS to be at least a venial sin! However, I do believe this issue is one which really conflicts with the church's teaching on the magisterium.

Jesu uber alles.
