Yes. Welcome to you both. I don't know what all the hoopla surrounding your entrance was because your contribution was nothing different than what we've heard a hundred times before on this subject. But its nice to have new people around. Welcome.

Thanks, Invince. You're right that this stuff has been heard hundreds of times here, and subjects like this one have been debated millions of times since the time of Christ. But just the mere fact that truth claims are debated and debated frequently doesn't mean those claims aren't important.

For example, there are those who argue today that the Holocaust never happened. Others argue that abortion should be legal. Those are claims that are well worth debating and refuting. And if five hundred years from now some are denying the Holocaust of saying abortion should be legal, I hope the debate will be joined by those who will spend time and energy refuting those claims.

So don't wonder that these Catholic issues are being debated here, as they have been for so long. That's not going to change (unfortunately), until Christ returns and all these questions will be definitevely answered and all debates will become moot.

P.S. What hoopla? I didn't see any hoopla. Dang! I missed the hoopla.
