U think we kind of guessed that.
And with that, we will probably need to end this debate.
Debate? You call that a debate? I saw no debate. I barely saw a "frank exchange of views:" with the usual frustrating aspect that the characterization of the Catholic view seemed to me to be rich with misunderstanding of it -- as is often the case. IMHO this was more shadow boxing than debate.
I have studied the Roman Catholic Church extensively. I wonder if you really understand what the Church teaches. Have you studied Roman Catholicism as it is practiced outside of the US...very different from the American iteration.
Anyway, may your Lenten season be all that you need it to be.
