Lol. NOW the excuses begin.
Well..... it's not ALWAYS true. Caveat emptor.
Isn't it ODD that we are considered wrong when Protestantism didn't come along until the the 16th century? How DID the Catholic Church ever manage to survive AND thrive for 1,500 years without'em?
AND, the gainsayer was the PRIEST, FATHER MARTIN LUTHER?
One Protestant DID say: We aren't protesting anymore.
Well, some are here, against every fiber of the 2000-year-old Catholic Church. It's odd. WHY would they care?
But they DO care, very, very much. I think they "protest too much."
Wikipedia: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" is a quotation from the 1602 play Hamlet by William Shakespeare.
It has been used as a figure of speech, in various phrasings, to indicate that a person's overly frequent or vehement attempts to convince others of something have ironically helped to convince others that the opposite is true, by making the person look insincere and defensive.

Boy, did Shakespeare nail it or what?
