“This is a great admonition for those stuck in the sludge pot of Rome’s cultish superstitions and self-made religion.”
You’d be a tad more persuasive if you did not use this sort of language. I believe your hero, St. Paul, spoke of speaking truth with charity.
I have no more say to you. I shake off the dust of my feet against you. You are an embarrassment to the Christian faith.
We come to the end of your crazed defense of the indefensible Roman sect. No longer will we have to endure rantings about how self-mutilation appeases the Vatican gods, nor must we bear the misinterpretations foisted on the poor unsuspecting adherants. We will see when this is all over who exactly is the "embarrassment". Watch for the Gospel of grace to flatten that goose-stepping country called Vatican City.
This almost has the same effect on me as when I saw Muslims take to the street and start beating and cutting themselves in the head in the name of their faith.
