If you cannot be honest, where would such a dialog even begin?
“If you cannot be honest, where would such a dialog even begin?”
I take it then that you agree that without honest dialog we have nothing to discuss. Why don’t we leave it at that, ok?

I do believe that you insist on getting the last word. You can have it. Yes or no, Are you done?
I do believe you think I feel somehow compelled to answer your questions. Am I correct, yes or no?
“I do believe you think I feel somehow compelled to answer your questions. Am I correct, yes or no?”
You are compelled to get the last word, yes. And your answer to my previous question was obviously “no”.
Are we done yet?
That's a hilarious charge to make while simultaneously ending each of your posts with a question, isn't it?
What would be the point of persisting desperately to make this personal?
So we’re not done?

See, now THIS is funny. I am making it a point to not depart without a modicum of politeness. Some people don’t like that. Shall we take our leave?
Wouldn't a modicum of politeness necessarily involve an apology for falsely claiming I said there was an aspersion (#75) when I said no such thing?
“NO one should be held to a higher standard than any other.”
Actually, I said “highest” standard - as in GOD’S standard.
“I’m not sure what would motivate you to post “protestants”...
“Is it not accurate?
No. It was across denominations and included non-Christian.
“Wouldn’t that make your argument, “Catholics, we’re no worse than anyone else!”
“And when the refrain is so often “Catholics are worse than anyone else,” what would be wrong with such an argument in reply?
Glad to hear you aspire to godliness, as Christians are commanded.
Oh, no wait. You are saying Catholics should have standards that are as low as every other group.
Herein lies the problem.
>>Actually, I said “highest” standard - as in GOD’S standard.<<
Every man is a sinner.
When one expects one group of men to be better than another group of men, that person will be sorely disappointed.
Nope. Didn't say that.
YOU said that.
“Wouldn’t a modicum of politeness necessarily involve an apology for falsely claiming I said there was an aspersion (#75) when I said no such thing?”
No, no apology for you - You lost your cool and started claiming others were anti-Catholic after defending a bald-faced anti-Protestant deception in the title of the thread as “not against the rules”. You’re in a mire of your own making, I’m afraid.
Don’t worry, I accept your apology - the one where you said you never said anything - it’s indirect remorse, and it’s better than nothing. Thank you.
Now please have a nice day - and make your next post a good one because it will be the last word, as long as you don’t go too far afield.
What an amazing tale.
(Don’t worry, I didn’t expect you to apologize.)
“(Don’t worry, I didn’t expect you to apologize.)”
I’m sorry you feel that way. Thank you for the discussion.
You have a vivid imagination.
