I am not on 24/7 and habitually begin where I left off my previous session. (Sorta like reading a book from front to back dontchaknow?) For that reason I missed the admonition from the RM.
1. Your "quote" was not linked in the post I responded to. It is not my habit to trace each post backwards without reason.
2. You will note once again I did not ping the RM with this silliness. The RM has more important things to do.
Here is what you posted in #2097:
Uh Uh! Isn't it against the rules to plagarize [sic] the words of others? No quotation marks, no indicationn [sic] it is not an original thought. Criminal! Dishonest! My my!
Here is my original post where I clearly credited the words to Schaff and the block quoting clearly indicates that they are HIS WORDS and negates the need for quotation marks:
To: smvoiceThen how about just nipping it? "Nip it in the bud"That's fine, we'll just agree that Schaff acknowledged how complete the list of popes is and never suggested that Saint Peter was never in Rome:
It must in justice be admitted, however, that the list of Roman bishops has by far the preeminence in age, completeness, integrity of succession, consistency of doctrine and policy, above every similar catalogue, not excepting those of Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, and Constantinople; and this must carry great weight with those who ground their views chiefly on external testimonies, without being able to rise to the free Protestant conception of Christianity and its history of development on earth.
Enough has been said on the subject. It’s time to drop it and return to the issues.
