And does any one believe that in one place there can be either many shepherds or many flocks? Lots of people, apparently.
It's the overriding principle of religion in America.

It really is a cabal. Each post the met or cool or doc ock types post is cced to every one of their cabal. And they play the standard game of shoot and move. When you prove their point wrong, some other member of the caval will jump and excerpt somethign you said (half a sentence) and post it and go on a tangent to save the original poster. Pathetique!

Notice that my post that indicted a nameless anti-Catholic cabal in response to question 8 was deleted but posts that refer to Catholicism as a venereal disease that mind rapes children is OK. Its hard to argue that there is a level playing field for Catholics.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:10)
I do understand why Catholics and Catholicism is held to a different and higher standard than the members of the anti-Catholic cabal and their active and tacit supporters. We must take up our cross and carry it with pride.
From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more (Luke 12:48)
We were warned about people like these.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence."(Matthew 23:25) .

Your post and the one quoting it were removed because you used the word "dung" and that after I have informed you that any and all references to potty language - direct or indirect - which are not direct quotes from the Bible shall be automatically removed.

It was NOT a quote from the Bible.

"It was NOT a quote from the Bible."Since the objectionable word is not a part of modern urban life I will be sure to do more than make incomplete biblical references going forward for the benefit of those who are less biblically literate or just don't get it. Thank you

The Church should combat widespread "Biblical illiteracy" among the Catholic faithful, Archbishop Eterovic said.

"I'm sure the Catholics here would appreciate it." But the anti-Catholics would benefit from it far more. They would be secure in their beliefs with the help of the Magisterium under the guiding hand of the Holy Spirit instead of the self-anointed Reformers.

Yup, and we can work to spread literacy amongst the PCA and OPC too — since they don’t read but rather memorise the bible by rote and there’s a difference between memorising as the PCA/OPC do and real comprehension as in orthodoxy

As the article say the Synod will discuss the challenge posed by fundamental sects that promote misleading interpretations of the Scripture -- so we can help les pauvres dans le PCA et OPC

The use of
any potty language on the Religion Forum - whether direct or indirect - is not justified
except when it is part of a quote from the Bible.
Gratuitous quotes from the Bible which serve no purpose other than to put such a word on the table are also unjustified.
To: Religion Moderator
"The use of any potty language on the Religion Forum.."Do you consider references to venereal disease potty language? I am not aware of any Biblical references to it.

No, the names of diseases such as AIDS, Syphilis, etc. - whether specific or general - are not potty language.
To: Religion Moderator
Normal bodily functions are verboten in the Religion Forum, maladies derived from fornication aren’t....got it.
