“I am already under God’s judgement. I never was and never will be under yours. What gibberish are you reduced to in order to support a street corner lunatic?”

That’s well said, and it’s one of the most perplexing things about some well-known posters here. They really think that we will accept their judgment of us over God’s; they think their mercy and approval is more important than God’s mercy and approval. I guess they think they are superior to God, that we should automatically feel guilty if we disagree, because if they are annoyed with us, then God must be also.

I’ve seen that time and time again—legalistic phariseeism, religious lawgivers, prophetic judges—over people who do and and will never accept their scattered, non-unified, and earthy “authority.”

Appreciate the sentiment. The attitude seems to be that God will indeed accede to the wishes of the self described faithful. The gibberish is generated in order to throw up flak to protect the individual from the reality of Scripture and the Catechism. When one assumes the role of God, then one cannot put up with the possibility of theology proving one wrong.
