No, just the truth. I’ve had people curse at me, mess with my job, and threaten to kill me. Quite frankly your flailing around in this forum doesn’t even rate.

“I am sympathetic to Catholics that have to tolerate a politician like Newt in their midst.”

I don’t think they’re in need of or seeking your sympathy. Most Catholics in America don’t even know he’s Catholic.

“He is without a doubt a sinner, as you point out - like all of us, but his sin continues as he converted to your religion for political gain.”

You keep saying that and never offer a scrap of proof. Prejudice.

“You should be more sympathetic towards your fellow Catholics who, apparently unlike you, take their faith seriously.”

I have no logical reason to offer sympathy to those who are objectively wrong. A serious Catholic would give Newt the benefit of the doubt unless or until evidence to the contrary is offered. Last Wednesday was the Feast Day of the Conversion of St. Paul. No serious Catholic wants to be like Ananias. I think you know no more about serious Catholics than you do about Newt’s conversion.

It doesn’t matter. They’ve got it anyway. I give it unreservedly - even to you. No need to thank me.

Nobody should have to put up with that due to online postings, but I can understand (but not condone, mind you) how that could happen to you. You are pretty obnoxious, but then again, I am too.

That’s my biggest beef with you - you won’t admit it.
