Why? This thread is about saint Patrick and the parade
I put up a reference to be read. You can read it or not. you can see the the biblical references or not. You don’t have to. And you don’t have to be catholic
You have an argument with Catholicism. So why be on a thread that talks about the saints? You’re planning on convincing me that the catechism is stupid? I’m supposed to look at and read all the references the theologians used in to write those three paragraphs and conclude that you are smarter than they are? why would i do that? no.
I put a catechism reference up. You have a problem with the catechism. Take it up with someone in the hierarchy, they are the ones who wrote it and quit harassing me
Whatever your problem with the church is, you won’t solve it harassing me. It’s a 2000 year old institution which thrives. You won’t find the answer bugging me
St Patrick lived in the 300s. His feast day has been celebrated for 1700 years. Your problem with that is way beyond my level of expertise. And you know it. So go see a priest. Or don’t. I really don’t care
What you did in the context of opposing homosexuality was invoke the catechism as the standard saints go by, even though Rome had not published one for a long time after Patrick.
But by making the catechism as the standard then you invited a challenge to that as being the standard, and then tried to divert the challenge to someone who did not make it here.
Take it up with someone in the hierarchy, they are the ones who wrote it and quit harassing me
You can quite any time, but you were the one that made it a Catholic issue by invoking the Hibernians (booze not being the issue) in response to my simple remark that " as the Sodomites sought to force their way into just Lot's house, the demons that drive the homosexual activist work to force there way into every place they are excluded from.."
Thus you were the one that began the Catholic issue, and continued to do so, but when challenged you want to send me to your hierarchy. Which evidences that you do have really have an argument, but only assertions. Which is quite Roman in the first place.
Tell your hierarchy to come here and take your place in answering my responses, but don't send me to them to deal with an argument you began.
So go see a priest. Or don’t. I really don’t care
I have seen plenty in my life, and know both sides. And most RCs do not care about Truth.
