Dear verga, that is exactly the kind of global generalization I would urge us all to avoid.

Name a single one of the usual suspects that I did not give an accurate description of. How many times has each of us told them some variation of "Catholics don't adore/worship/ idolize the blessed Mother?" And yet they continue to repeat that same lie over and over. Some of them even bring it into a conversation in which it has no bearing or application. This thread being a perfect example.

I'm not going to name a select group of "usual suspects" because that would both insult them and oblige me to ping them into the discussion. Double-plus-ungood.

....and that has little bearing on my objection. You didn't initially indict "usual subjects," you indicted "100% of the anti-Catholics and the majority of non-Catholics that we encounter" (#220)..

It's that kind of generalization that I would urge us to avoid.
