Such is the sad world of Catholicism.

As opposed to the sad world of liberal Protestantism, which persecutes and hounds those who don't accept liberal scholarship?

Take your "sad world" concept up with the faithful Christians left in the PCUSA, the orthodox Anglicans wondering where to go, and the United Methodists watching their denomination drift toward total apostasy.

That's the real "sad world," and it ain't Rome's fault.

I cited the scholarship that accused the Jews of placing racist text into the scripture in order to justify atrocity.

The people who used that text "in order to justify atrocity" were virtually all Christians. Many of them were Protestants.

I am not a member of any liberal denomination. I am with the Orthodox Presbyterians. You are a member of the Roman Catholic church, which gives Nihil Obstats to blasphemous publications which they then provide on the home for Catholics online, Vatican.va.

“The people who used that text “in order to justify atrocity” were virtually all Christians. Many of them were Protestants.”


Again, with this trollish diversion:

“[18-27] This story seems to be a composite of two earlier accounts; in the one, Ham was guilty, whereas, in the other, it was Canaan. One purpose of the story is to justify the Israelites’ enslavement of the Canaanites because of certain indecent sexual practices in the Canaanite religion.”

Unless you are defending this reading, then there is no reason to try to accuse me of being a racist. I don’t believe your religion’s reading of that passage, so I do not use it to justify racism.
