No. You said giving a pectoral cross to someone was no different than giving a rosary to someone.

You are wrong, yet you have to the gall to lecture people on “what every Catholic should know”.

As the "people" being lectured I have something to say at this point: I called a priest who initially said it was no big deal but then I asked him what if the pope gave him a pectoral cross and he about choked. He also agreed with me that the blessing issue of this week was a bigger deal than the whole pectoral cross kerfuffle.

I want to make certain that vlad understands that I am now, and have been, quite well aware that the gift of a pectoral cross does not have anything to do with conferring the Sacrament of Holy Orders, specifically the elevation of a cleric to the episcopacy.

Oh, and that I find him insulting and pompous no matter what religious beliefs we may have in common.

“No. You said giving a pectoral cross to someone was no different than giving a rosary to someone.”

Nope. That’s not what I said. I said, “Giving a rosary to a Protestant does not mean you recognize them as a Catholic. Think.”

You’re apparently still not doing that last part.

“You are wrong, yet you have to the gall to lecture people on “what every Catholic should know”.”

I am absolutely right - and in your own way you’re working overtime to prove it when you can’t get what I said right.
