To: count-your-change

count-your-change, there’s a reason that you see red type, saying “Loose lips sink ships.” If you’re inferring something, perhaps you might want to check your facts beforehand. When the Holy Father talks about defending doctrine but avoiding disrespect and angry rhetoric, how was your comment appropriate? Were you meaning, by hyperbole, to personify that which we, as Catholics, are meant to avoid? So you were making a joke? No? Then exactly what did you mean?

“appropriate”? Why, it was spot on! Given the role of torture and murder in the history of the Catholic Church against those it deemed “heretics” and Pope Innocent IV’s decree authorizing torture against same, I should ask whether both you and the Pope are joking.

Now what did you mean?
