[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

However interesting this philosophical debate may be, to the extent it has no bearing on the current Catholic scandals and intra-church problems (the subject of this thread),I am going to propose the polite and civil request to start another thread dedicated to this philosophical debate topic. I can recommend Copleston's multi-volume History of Philosophy, the archived proceedings of the ACPA, and Von Hayek's critical analysis of scientism for additional tangents.

Thanks for the input and God Bless in your quests. Or Good Luck, as the case may be.

Good call. I for one have no desire to take part in such an endeavor though. The thought of even entertaining such a debate seriously would be a howlingly mind-bending absurdity... just kidding.

Reading that I had an interesting thought. It is impossible for a crooked politician, a criminal or pedophile to hide behind Neo-Tech or use it as a shield. The corollary no initiation-of-force crime escapes Neo-Tech. To bad the same can't be said of current day politics and the Catholic church in America.
