Sure you did. In post 78 you wrote "Assuming the Catholic Church is as clueless, or worse malevolent as you insist..." I am not proposing a "false dichotomy." I'm asserting a dichotomy apparently you are uncomfortable with and so you disagree. That's your prerogative. But name-calling and mind-reading are against the rule on FR. Try to stick to the discussion without breaking the rules.

LOL........Pssssst......Doc........you just said I'm "uncomfortable". Isn't that ....ya know......"breaking the rules"? Isn't that making it about me? Aren't you reading my mind? How do you know I'm uncomfortable?

See how silly this all is? Utterly ridiculous, isn't it?

What say we stop shrieking "personal attaaaack" and suck up the incoming without whining?

What are we......liberals?...... :-)

= = =

Could we get an encyclically verified mandate on that?

Seems to me that the whining RC folks out-number

ALL

the other whiners easily 10 to 1.
