Oh my goodness...we’ve been through all of this before. It’s pretty much useless to repeat it continually. I am concerned for you as you seem to be obsessed with finding fault and that is spiritually dangerous for anyone who seriously seeks the heart and mind of God.

A small excerpt: “Of a truth, hasty judgments are most displeasing to God, and men’s judgments are hasty, because we are not judges one of another, and by judging we usurp our Lord’s own office. Man’s judgment is hasty, because the chief malice of sin lies in the intention and counsel of the heart, which is shrouded in darkness to us. Moreover, man’s judgments are hasty, because each one has enough to do in judging himself, without undertaking to judge his neighbour.” St. Francis de Sales

Also...from the Sacred Scriptures:

“Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.” (Philippians 4:8)

Once again, address the article before you launch into me.

You really need to read what you just posted to me and examine your own conscience.
