The trouble with catholics is that they have to make up a vocabulary that is so contorted that an average person can not understand them. I will stick with the charismatics as their speaking in tongs is soothing next to the put on super intellect put out by the catholics.
so what vocabulary is made up here?
tongues
“charismatics as their speaking in tongs”
Strange. I thought they spoke in spatula.
“The trouble with catholics is that they have to make up a vocabulary that is so contorted that an average person can not understand them.”
The average UNEDUCATED person, maybe. Those who are educated have less difficulty understanding the vocabulary used by particular defined groups. Having said that, what group has an easily understood vocabulary - easily understood by the “average person” anyway? Jews? Nope. Evangelicals? Not really? Are you a post, mid-, or pre-, millenialist, for instance? Are you a Preterist? Get the point?
The task of talking down to you is made much easier when using unnecessarily large words. I see you weren't intimidated and brought it to their attention. Good for you. There is no need for much of their showy display of verbal skills but it makes them feel better (superior?) about themselves so we should try to look over it. YMMV
