***Not only that, they have attributed my own personal opinion to all Catholics, even when other Catholics strongly disagree with me.***

Not hardly. I asked if this line of thinking was the party line.

Hyperbole is clearly in play here, which clearly illustrates something about the FROman Catholic MO.

Who said that my line of thinking was Catholic belief?

Did anyone say YOU attributed JA's remarks to all Catholics?

That remark of hers was not about what you said. Just read the last couple of pages of this thread and you'll see that others are exactly taking her remark and saying that it's somehow representative. If JA's remark were about you, then the hyperbole remark would be on target. But her remark isn't about you but about the statements of others, so the hyperbole charge is itself hyperbolic.

In other news, I think even a true statement can be personal. Judith Anne is not the subject, as far as I know.

"I asked if this line of thinking was the party line."

That question alone speaks volumes about what you think of Catholics and the Catholic Church. Where you get it all wrong is that the Catechism and Dogma of the Catholic Church are all about the freedom to individually and privately choose or reject Christ as a major component of personal salvation.

Unlike so many of the Protestant and Revisionist denominations who have assumed the power to dictate and condemn the Catholic Church's role is only to educate, facilitate, and support that personal choice.

You have just done exactly what you said was not being done: transferring your opinion that Judith Anne's statement was "hyperbole"(even though stated carefully to stay within forum guidelines)....to "the FRoman Catholic MO."

Rather unfortunate for your argument.
