OK, I give up. You’re too prolific. LIterally hundreds of posts on a single thread! But what you said — and I am paraphrasing from memory — was you hoped that all these lawsuits would bankrupt the church, so all the church parishes would have to close, there wouldn’t be any priests, and all the congregants would have to join reformed churches.

Now, if by everyone having to be reformed because the state has prevented the Catholic church from conducting a mass is what you call “reforming the church,” that’s a unique definition of “reform,” but so be it. I don’t see how you can hardly blame me for characterizing it as a destruction of the Church, though. Although I’ll meet you half way and concede that if your Stalinist-atheist alliance ever did manage to completely put an end to the church’s parish buildings, schools, hospitals, prolife ministries, etc., it’d be all the liberals joining the deformed churches like the PCUSA, while the remnant faithful Catholics would be meeting in homes and hedges, like they did when the church of England murdered hundreds of thousands of Irish Catholics in the name of reformation.

That is not true. You admit you can't find any comment of mine that says that, but you repeat the remark as if it were true.

Your debate skills stink.

When and if you ever get around to finding any statement of mine which is as you wrote, be sure to let us know.

Until then, you're just making it up.
