Interesting . . .

This was certainly likely to be a contentious topic.

So, I came aboard determined to redouble my efforts to be winsome, light hearted, overtly charitable and the like in as much as God enabled and it lies within me to be so with a clear conscience.

I’m still eager and determined to do so.

However, I observe RC reps posting in a manner which is coming across as:

—fiercely angry,

—with a very large chip on shoulders,

—LTTM—lofty to the max as though from the only one true truely truestly truely true position of pontificating truth

—throwing out all manner of seemingly wounded, affronted, harsh diatribe sorts of stuff . . . most of it having absolutely NOTHING to do with the topic of this thread.

While perhaps in a stretch and keeping in mind the humanness of us all . . . this is somewhat understandable. But not overly lauditory.

I could go on and on but I’ll return, instead, to my goals for myself hereon.

I merely point out that Mr. Easter quite obviously has a chip on his own shoulder, as regards Catholic faith and practice. That he would dare to impugn the faith of others is disgusting -- he has no basis other than that he evidently hates the "idolatry" of Catholic iconography. He certainly is not God -- he cannot know what is in those peoples' hearts.

I think Mr. Easter might find the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector to be a relevant and timely read.
