I guess you think the Mass and the Church belong to some hierarchal group of men, sitting around a table, making solemn gestures and aheming to each other. The statement I made about being labeled a "heretic" was just a bit of hyperbole and you know that very well. I posted the Encyclical for all to read. Silly man.
patent, I said goodbye very nicely.You post to a public forum. You make assertions. I challenge some of them. You chose not to respond to that, running off. You do, however, continue to argue the issue with others. I guess I will continue to respond if I like. I am sorry if that bothers you.
You are free to believe whatever it is you wish, but I think it's really amusing that you have labeled me a "liberal Protestant". No, not amusing, but absolutely rolling-on-the-floor, tears-streaming-down-the-face, gasping-for-breath, belly laughing, fud-ruckingly, hysterically unbelievable.;-) Then don’t act like one. You know what the Church is, don’t distort the teaching in the liberal fashion and I won’t call you a liberal.
At least you left me happy. But it would be nice, if just once, you could leave out your silly personal labels, especially since you come to such enormously wrong conclusions.You have done your own labels, insinuating sinkspur is aligned with catholics for a free choice and the like. Seems a bit hypocritical to whine about it. You handle yourself just fine in amidst any flame wars, even ones as mild as this.
