Well, seeing as I never mentioned the word "Catholic" in that post, I find it interesting that you both seemed to think I was referring to it. There are many religions and cults that have that same kind of hold on their adherents.
So which religion were you talking about?
If you are serious that you were not meaning to describe us, ...
The “interesting” fact is explained thus:
If somebody were to say, “They’re shiftless, unreliable, over-sexed, and cowardly, but they do make wonderful athletes, and have a great musical sense and natural rhythm,though as a class they are less intelligent than we,” how many would be astonished if a black person took offense or expressed incredulity when told that, after all, nobody SAID, “black”?
If I may ask, who were you talking about?
Actually, I went back several posts before there was any reference to anything pertaining to a specific religion and that was only a comment about the authority of a magisterium.
Throw a rock over the fence and the dog that yelps is the one that got hit.

You can’t be serious.
