Dr. E.: I almost can't believe a Christian wrote that line. Astounding.
Considering the topic of the thread and its author, I would say doubly astounding. :) Since we have learned how wrong it is to pre-judge an accused priest before his trial, we must assume that Paul has already been tried in the official court of the Catholic Church and convicted of being "loony".
Presumably, at Paul's trial the defense brought into evidence that according to the Catholic Church's own teaching standard, the CCC, the words of the accused "have God as their author" (CCC 105). But apparently, that wasn't enough and the court of the Catholic Church found these words of God to be "loony" anyway. Again, that must have happened since the author of the essay argued so strongly how wrong it was to pre-judge a priest without due process. Surely if a priest is entitled to the presumption of innocence in the court of public opinion before trial then an Apostle would also be so entitled.
Evidently, you didn't read my remarks, only Eckleburg's
EXTREMELY WELL PUT.
THX.
LOL.
I dare say, Paul’s Judge has spoken already. all the rest is chorus.
