To: lastchance; Dr. Eckleburg
The moderator has weighed in. You are right. I do support pederast priests and approve of the steps taken by the heirarchy to shield them. I fully agree that sexual immorality on the part of priests should be excused because they are alter Christs. That any accusations against priests must only be heard by the Vatican and that the victims are forbidden from going to the police.

As a Catholic I must approve of immoral sexual behavior because priestly celibacy is a core doctrine of my Church. This leads to a priest seeking out sexual outlets in unwholesome and vile ways. But it is not their fault.

I figure I might as well go all out and agree with you 100% since the mod will not tell you that making such accusations is flame bait. I must therefore conclude that he agrees with your statement. In light of such evidence of Catholic guilt I must yield.

Let all Catholics take note. Stating that we do not denounce Pederast Priests is a neutral statement that can neither be shown to be true or false. It is not a personal attack. It is not flame bait. It is the same as disputing whether we worship Mary.

Such a sttatement is a mere matter of perception. It is a simple misconception of Catholic teaching. It was made without motive or guile or any ill intent.

It must be true.

Noted.

I know Dr. E has a sarcasm meter shame that you don’t. If you read my last sentence that it is sarcasm is clear. Further more if you cut and paste any of what I wrote and use it to support the idea that I actually do support pederast priests I will hit the abuse button so many times that you and the other mods will duck at the incoming salvos.

I was making a point that the most outrageous statements are tolerated and in face of such tolerance by neutral disinterested parties a conclusion is made that favors the outrageous statement. That such statement is allowed to stand means it must indeed be neutral That there is no calumny involved at all. Any debate arising from the statement is a debate of perception. Mistaken perhaps but honest and arrived at by a non prejudiced examination of the facts presented in evidence to those debating.

Over and over again Dr. E has entered such facts regarding my support of pederasts. I countered with facts showing that her statements were wrong. That such statements were a direct personal attack on my character. The mod disagreed and concluded this was not the case. Well for such foul statements to be permitted to remain means that they will meet any challenge to their veracity. I can not imagine the mods ever permitting a flame bait personal attack to remain unless those remarks are true. Truth can never be a personal attack. If one is offended by truth the answer is not to silence truth but to let the truth remain for all to see.

Now if Dr E’s claim is true I have no choice but to agree. After all truth is not relative. The mods obviously have chosen to take as a truth worthy of respect and support that Catholics and by implication me support pederasts.

How could I argue with this conclusion?

After all the principled behavior of anti Catholics is well known here and a cause for respectful admiration. None of them would ever post anything malicious or untruthful. Their character is in all things above reproach. When faced with such evidence by such virtuous individuals the honest person must yield and conclude that what they write is indeed true.

It is helpful also to remember that I am not allowed to say anyone is a liar. So followint that admonishment it must be that it is not a lie that I support pederasts. See how that works?

The rules are set up in such a way that lies can be posted with boldness and without fear of consequences. Calling someone to task for outright false statements is forbidden. Not disagreements or difference of opinions but outright false statements. Statements which can be shown to be false. Vile statements, hateful statements, libelous statements. All are protected.

How does one respond in such an Orwellian atmosphere? By joining the insanity of course. Thus my post.

But just so you are very, very clear obviously I do not support pederasty from any source. I have shown again and again that I do not do so. I have been very clear in my condemnation of such behavior. If you use my sarcasm to libel me I will not let it go unchallenged. The mods I hope would understand the use of my sarcasm in such a matter as abuse.
