“
It does make me wonder what motivation keeps you tirelessly jumping into and reiterating this discussion over and over again, since none of it matters, really, on your give-a-damn scale.”
Truth. It does a soul good.
Big Amen. And Biblical, too.
But it's odd when a bunch of Protestants jump in to take over a thread that's about the Latin Mass --- which can be expected to attract the attention of people worried about the availability of a Latin mass in their Diocese --- when you have no Mass and no Diocese and no skin in the game. Any pretext to repeat the same old pre-packaged polemics, no matter how tedious.
So what attracts you? The word "Mass"? Or is it just "Hey, Catholic thread! Let's swarm!"
You can't think Catholic are attracted to your version of Truth, your point of view, by Attack Polemics, Sado-Evangelism spiked with contempt and ridicule, cut-and-pastes from belligerent websites featuring the Six Blind Men describing the Elephant.
It must be tedious even to you!
Or worse, an occasion of sin (for all of us: pride, anger, the various iterations of the Seven Deadlies) which I do worry about sometimes.
I don't get onto Protestant threads --- you may or may not have noticed --- for just that reason. Nor do I tell Protestants what they believe: I try to avoid that.
If I have done so in the past, it was through a lapse of good manners or sheer inadvertence. I ask your pardon for that.
Just tell me what YOU believe. That would be so much more interesting, refreshing, enlightening--- and without a doubt, more accurate.
