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.

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.

Very good. Then what do you consider the Popes who changed the Rite of the Mass after Quo Primum?

patent, you make the Taliban laid-back and compassionate by comparison to your vitrol.

If such hatred is the product of your "religion", then somewhere, your "religion" has lost the spirit and teachings of Jesus Christ.

You have my pity, for you live in a dark world of fear and loathing.

The reason I don't continue to discuss these matters with you is because of your apparent incurable addiction to making personal, rude remarks. Perhaps you should try a 12-step program. I do my best to inject a bit of humor and levity, but you are so damn strident, patent. Lighten up. We have discussed these matters scores of times and your pattern of response is so predictable, although this is the first time you have called me a liberal Protestant.

I spent a lot of time responding to you - I felt it was the correct moment to end a discussion that was going nowhere, yet you choose to label it "running away". That's puerile. And I don't need to check with you if I choose to reply to others who have directed a comment to me. Jealous, patent? Oops, now you're going to explode again.
