When replying to my initial posting, your friend BlackElk called me and another FReeper liars and anti-Catholic in the first damn sentence. And he's been whining non-stop for three damn days. If people disagree with my posts, fine. But it's utter BS for someone to tag you as being a liar and anti-Catholic and then wanting you to provide link after link proving you're not. When all he did when I provided links was challenge one of the two links I provided and went off on another damn tangent INSTEAD of applying it to debate my post.
It's no damn different from someone calling you a wife-beater and then saying . . . "Okay, pal, prove you're not." There is absolutely NOTHING I could or can provide him that'll convince him to get off his high-horse. He started this debate from the attack mode and nothing's changed.
I challenge you just as I challenged him. Find my initial post and YOU DOCUMENT where anything I said was a lie or anti-Catholic. His problem was it had the word "Pope" in it and he got his jock-strap in a knot and cut off the oxygen to his brain.
Another FReeper, Cap'n Crunch, wanted to discuss the same things but he was a helluva lot more diplomatic and he convinced me "the news media" is taking the Pope's comments out of context. How is any reader of a reputable article supposed to know that? But Cap'n Crunch made sense and he didn't sling wild and reckless and unfair accusations. He truly wanted to discuss things. I learned some things from him and I hope he did from me -- which is the way it should be.
There is no discussing squat with BlackElk. He's got his mind made up and, frankly, I don't care what he thinks after three days of BS. When a man starts out a discussion by calling you a liar and an "anti-anything," there's not much room for honest discourse.
Check my original post . . . it's only three damn sentences. Then decide for yourself. If not, bite me, you have no idea what you're talking about.
BlackElk says he represents the Roman Catholic Church -- which to my non-Roman Cathlic ears is a bit uppity and funny as hell -- and I am the enemy. Then you say I'm a "waste of bandwidth" without even knowing what you're talking about. If you're Roman Catholic as well, I hope to God the starting team is better stewards of your faith than you two are because you scrubs are judgmental as hell and I suspect neither of you "represent the REAL Roman Catholic Church" . . . regardless of BlackElk's high-browed claims.
But you're both funny. I'll give you that.
