Note the part about being secretly ordained.

That is NOT the way it happens in a real Presbyterian church.

A teaching elder is called by the congregation and ordained publicly.

Rome got what it deserved when they brought Hahn on board. A fraud from a sham of a church.

Can you show me where it was "secret"? I see the word "private" (even in the account of the blog author who doesn't seem to have much good to say about Dr. Hahn), but not "secret". Do you have another document which you can show us, or are you simply using the word "secret" because it sounds more sinister and pejorative?

...populated with REAL Scotsmen! (Your choice to use that fallacy in this instance is actually pretty apropos, given where many Presbyterians trace their heritage...)

In many cases, yes. In this case, no. Apparently, you have proof that this constitutes an invalid ordination? I'd love to see it... especially since the Presbyterians themselves are strongly divided on the general issue.

Base rubbish. Insults and slurs are the last refuge of one who has no real argument.
