As I read my pings, I sometimes respond at once. Awkwardly, I responded 1st to a ping that was sent after yours but received first by me.
I still recall my 1st semester at college. I was intrigued by the fact that my English Literature seemed related to my Math and that my Biology Course was related somehow to my Effective Speaking. In fact all of my Courses seemed to be intertwined.
That has pretty much been the case concerning just about everything since that somehow fuzzy time long ago when I finally became a man and put away childish notions.
The fact of the matter is, everything is related.
If you do not care for the heat, then maybe you should be on the sidelines. I spend most of my time there.
I did appreciate your post though. Well said!
Fair enough, but if the relationship is more than, "here's another thing those dreadful Catholics do/believe," it might be good to open up the differences explicitly.
As a matter of fact I think long discussions would probably bring to the surface what has already been mentioned, that a fundamental difference is in our understanding of the meaning of the Incarnation, and this leaks into our thinking about the holiness of the holy ones and about what God can do to some bread and wine.
But it would be a long conversation.
