So when somebody says I'm not reading Scripture properly because I don't agree with the various time-tables, or even with the process of looking for time-tables, may I then conclude they care more for timetables than for Jesus and God? Is it reasonable of me to expect that in every post there be some explicit act of homage to God or to conclude from the absence of such an homage that the person doesn't care much for God?
I would think that such folks would say that even though I'm in for a rough ride, or at least a heck of a shock, that they only meant that for a fuller understanding and a deeper obedience, the time-table thing is important.
EWTN, committing the grave and unexpected crime of believing the Faith it tries to propagate, is only saying that something's wrong with a charism that leads one away from the Church, Mary, the Pope.
Being Catholic implies that I agree. While I rejoice with my brothers and sisters all over the shop, I think that anything that puts a greater distance between them and those three things is not the best.
To your questions and illustrations . . .
Yes and no.
LOL.
But I think you know all that.
I think you also know why I could say what I did with a serious straight face.
