Christ wouldn't stand by while his Bride was insulted by ignorant men.Really? Jesus dealt with unenlightened men all the time without heaping contempt on them.
He saved His contempt for those who thought they WERE enlightened.
And, He did, indeed, stand by while ignorant men insulted Him.

So you consider PFKEY "unenlightend"? Why not try enlightening him instead of grovelling before his bigotry? Might be a better tactic.

Yes He did. But He defends his Church, his Bride. We are commanded to turn the other cheek when someone strikes us. But when someone strikes our bride? I don't recall that being in scripture....
