The comments I referenced had nothing to do with the title, or “what different churches believe”. They are intentionally inflammatory, and highly offensive. This thread is for the sole purpose of trolling.
Strong viewpoints are routinely expressed on the RF. The comment was not directed to any particular person, and so, if someone takes it personally, the question becomes, why?
Stating that “This thread is for the sole purpose of trolling” is a statement that presumes to know what is in the original poster’s mind.
A close look at marshmallow’s history shows a number of threads on both sides of the Catholic/Protestant debate. Religion forum threads are often very contentious.
If someone is offended, then perhaps it would be better to stay off the Religion Forum, or to stick to ecumenic or caucus threads. For a discussion of Open, Ecumenic, and Caucus threads, please see the Religion Moderator’s profile page.
Wrong.
The good Father explains very clearly why the "brothers" of Jesus spoken of in the Gospels are not siblings of Jesus. Rather well, in my opinion.
That is the point of the article.
You've taken exception to the word "Proddy". I'm sorry about that. As a frequent reader of Fr. Hunwicke's blog, I can tell you that he is not "trolling". He's English and the word "Proddy" is a colloquialism in the UK, albeit a somewhat disparaging one.
The words "Romish", "Romanist" etc., are used frequently on this forum to refer to Catholics. Too frequently, in my opinion but that's just something we have to deal with.
