” This thread isn’t trashing anybody but exploring matters of faith. “
So this excuse tortures the Lords prayer even worse than the specious argument about Protestants doing the same.
In essence your argument here is: “I’m not trespassing, I’m exploring, so I don’t need you to forgive me, and so I don’t have to forgive you”
It’s like explaining rape as “exploring sexuality” while the one getting raped may have a different opinion about it.
This Protestant forgives you anyway. But really this excuse for “exploration” should be repudiated by Catholics and Protestants together.
For what?
