[OrthodoxPresbyterian]

Do not ever address a post to me again that begins with crude language ("Bollocks").

I am sorry to say, Madam, but "bollocks" is not "crude language", unless you have a moral objection to the language of the Bible. Was this why you objected to my (now-deleted) post -- because your ears were offended by my "coarse" language?

And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

If the Lord Jesus Christ could say to Saul the Persecutor, "Saul, Saul... I am your Lord and your God... why are you behaving as if you want to kick me in the balls?"... then it is fitting enough language for me, as a Protestant Servant of the Lord Christ, to likewise use when it is appropriate.

As a Roman Catholic, you may have a "moral objection" to the language of the Bible, for it is not your Final Authority on matters of Faith and Practice.

But I am a Biblical Christian.

I have No King but Jesus.

And I have no "moral objection" to using the "coarse" language of my Lord and my King when it is appropriate.

You may invent any Pharisaical standard you please. I will be content to understand that there is no higher "moral standard" for Language, than the language of My Christ.

That silly objection put away...

No. No. No. Your slander and lies are knit together with the skill of a serpent. There was no wholesale liquidation of Bohemian Protestants. There were wars, battles, and mass immigration. You twist statistics in order to make your accusations appear as something more than pure trash when all that the statistics show is that people died in war and huge numbers of people fled the region. Such misuse of statistics and history is pure propaganda and used to hurl lies against the Church, it is a demonic enterprise.

There were Wars, Battles, and Massacres (not just "mass immigration").

• Wars conducted in defense of Roman Intolerance... (Claimed by Rome as a moral duty)
  If, therefore, the Catholic Church also claims the right of dogmatic intolerance with regard to her teachings, it is unjust to reproach her for exercising this right... She regards dogmatic intolerance not alone as her contestable right, but also as a sacred duty... According to Romans 8:11, the secular authorities have the right to punish, especially grave crimes with death; consequently, "Heretics may be not only excommunicated, but also justly put to death." -- The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1911 Edition

• Battles conducted in defense of Roman Intolerance...
• And Massacres conducted in defense of Roman Intolerance...
  • "The Christian glories in the death of a pagan because thereby Christ himself is glorified." -- Saint Bernard, French theologian, 1100s
  • "If forgers and malefactors are put to death by the secular power, there is much more reason for excommunicating and even putting to death one convicted of heresy.... That the saints may enjoy their beatitude and the grace of God more abundantly they are permitted to see the punishment of the damned in Hell." -- Saint Aquinas
  • "If in doubt, kill them all. God will know His own." -- Abbot Citeaux

You say that the factual historical identification of Roman Doctrinal Intolerance (claimed by the 1911 Roman Catholic Encyclopedia as a "moral duty"!) is a "demonic enterprise".

Well, I say to you, the Constantinian Error of Conversion by the Sword at the very heart of Roman Catholicism is a "demonic enterprise".

Even the Pope himself has "apologized" for the greivous sins of the Roman Catholics against their "separated brethren". But Roman Catholic parishioners like yourself are still unable to face the Facts of History.... engaging in the Holocaust Denial language of "mass immigration" ("We're just Relocating the Jews to the East") rather than admitting what actually transpired: MASS MURDER.

And why can Roman Catholic parishioners like yourself, not admit the Historical Facts for which the Pope himself has apologized?

Because you are deeply ashamed of the actual Historical Record of "Roman Intolerance".

"If, therefore, the Catholic Church also claims the right of dogmatic intolerance with regard to her teachings, it is unjust to reproach her for exercising this right... She regards dogmatic intolerance not alone as her contestable right, but also as a sacred duty." -- Roman Catholic Encyclopedia, 1911 Edition

Well, then, try to wrap your Mind around this fact of History...

The Pope is Morally Correct to Apologize for the Sins of his "church".
Considering the actual Historical record of "Roman Intolerance", You SHOULD BE ashamed.

[St.Chuck]

it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

Where does one go to find that little addendum?

[Siobhan]

Thank you for revealing how incredibly uneducated and crude you really are. Can anyone take seriously a man who doesn't know the difference between a crude expression and the plain meaning of Our Lord's words? You have no credibility left.

Do not ever post to me again.

Your continuing reference to male genitalia not only proves your unbelievable ignorance but it also constitutes harrasment of me.

And all this time I thought I was quoting from the Marines.
