[Mrs. Don-o]

I apologize, for I have offended you. That was not my intent: I ask you to believe that and forgive me.

What you said was this, Bu you still get the extra deluxe feature of becoming a Catholic in the incipient sense, automatically, and having your baptism considered a sacrament, at no extra cost, smells and bells optional. It's kinda like getting married. You automatically acquire bunch of inlaws, cousins and kin as "family" whether you actually wanted them or not. It's a package deal.

and what I was referring to was not the *We're all family now* comment.

We are not all be default Catholics no matter how much Catholicism tries to claim it retroactively.

And my comment was not just about that one little thing, but the whole comment of yours.

So the innocent sounding comment of yours I don't understand you, metmom. It seems the friendliest thing in the world, to say and believe with all my heart that we are family. Brothers and Sisters in Christ, remember? does not come across as sincere because there was a whole lot more to your comment for you to figure what I meant.

I will accept your apology and you are forgiven, just so that's settled.
