You have not shown any such thing. [Romanism does not base clerical celibacy on Scripture.]

In fact I did and you did not present any counter arguments against my proof. The fact is that you implicitly agreed with my proof.

You have argued a point...

Point, proof, evidence...What's your point?

but you certainly have not shown your position to be the only one that could be valid.

I didn't need to. We were speaking of a specific statement.

In fact, you have not asserted much about what YOU believe, other than that Catholics can’t be right.

I was never asked. I merely responded to one poster's question.

By the way, one of the courtesies applied at FR when engaging an adherent of a religion is to use the terms preferred by that adherent.

Do I need to ask every poster their preferred nomenclature? One Romanist refers to himself as a "feelthy papist". Would you prefer that?

Did you think I prefer the (normally) perjorative term that you keep using?

I have no idea what you prefer. I'll use my freedom of speech to use the term that I think best describes each cult. Mormons prefer "Latter Day Saints", I prefer Mormon.

You are quibbling when you pretend that Romanism is not a perjorative.

I simply invited you to stop using a perjorative, and now you are free to demonstrate how charitable you are.
