"I see that you are still engaging in your usual Catholic charity."

You are quick to sin and then demand an act of forgiveness from those you offend as though it were an entitlement or divine right. I am not called by Beatitude to tolerate lies and slander. Tolerance is not a Christian value but charity, justice, mercy, prudence, honesty are. Tolerance is an important working principle, but tolerating sin, evil and a lack of charity is itself a form of sin and serious evil.

Charity is the theological virtue by which we love God above all things for his own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God.

Charity always proceeds by way of respect for one's neighbor and his conscience. When lying, defaming and yourself demonstrating a lack of charity against your Catholic brethren and wounding their conscience you sin against Christ." (I Cor 8:12 ) Therefore "it is right not to do anything that makes your brother stumble."

So going forward you would best serve God, Free Republic, and yourself by preceding your lunatic fringe theories of history and Catholic dogma with a simple disclaimer.

It always the same;
ATTACK THE MESSENGER NEVER DISCUSS THE ISSUE.

Paul in 1 Cor 8:12 is talking about offering food to idols.
but you rip it out of context.
Try reading 1 Cor 8 the whole chapter in context.

So much for your advanced theological degrees.

May one day come to know the ONE true YHvH and seek His Salvation.
