I won’t reply to all the many people you pinged to your post.

When I mentioned the “good works” ( as you referred to them...I never called them “good works”), I had no intention of “flaunting”.

I made no presumptions that other Christians were “exempt from doing good works”.

I never once thought that “only Catholics do all of that and that those they are addressing don’t”. I know better.

I know there are “those who do good works and don’t trumpet it from the street corner.”

You appear to assume and perhaps even accuse me of being assumptive and accusative...and even “disingenuous”.

You may have missed the fact that I was responding to boatbum’s accounting of her experiences with Catholics. And I was merely expressing my experiemce with Catholics, as a Catholic, as a counterbalance.

There’s no need for seeing any more into what I wrote than what it was that I intended.

If I didn’t make my intention clear, I’ m trying to do so now.

My intent was to relate experiential and anecdotal experiences...the same criteria used by boatbums, as I mentioned in my post to her.

So now that this whole thing has been blown out of proportion to its significance, I’m happy, for my part, to close it.
