I see that you had to call in the posse. I don't know if you've put on your moderator pants or something, but you've come into the discussion late swinging your elbows and making false accusations. Maybe you need to go sit down and cool off for a bit.

My "posse"? LOL! I only pinged them because they had already posted comments to this thread that addressed the historic discord that DOES exist between SOME UCs and RCs. You can choose to ignore them, but they are what they are. The only reason I have entered the discussion is because Metmom is a FRiend and she has NO reason to lie about her experiences - NONE! If I kept on and kept on nagging and harassing one of your fellow FReeper Catholics for stupid reasons, I doubt very much you would go sit in the corner and cool off. And here's a newsflash for you....you aren't "defending the Church against untrue claims", you are giving an all-too-familiar knee jerk reaction to anything that can be construed as negative about your church. It couldn't be plainer. It's one thing to state a dogma of the church incorrectly but it's entirely different when someone who WAS a Catholic talks about their experiences with Catholics in their own life. I don't know what it will take for you to understand this point, but I'm done trying to help you.

Here's a new flash for you:

The claim that the UKGCC is considered not good enough to be Catholic is not true.

The claim that Catholics don't consider the UKGCC to be real Catholics is not true.

If want to label my pointing out that those claims are not true an "all-too-familiar knee jerk reaction," I can't help that. When I see false claims being made about the Church, I will respond. If that hurts your feelings, maybe you should stay on the ecumenical or caucus threads.

I'm done trying to help you.

LOL. Thanks.

It’s not all that difficult these days to look up the history. As I posted yesterday about the comment of Lubomyr Cardinal Husar of the UGCC “We were told: If you want to be a real Catholic, you have to be Latin. And they pushed us into it.” It is obvious that there was and is a schism. Husar wasn’t just some lowly lay person within the Ukrainian church after all. One would have to be rather dense or simply in complete denial to not see that what metmon says is truth.
