[old and tired]

If one "feels" themselves called to a vocation which has requirements one is not willing to accept, then one is being confronted with the truth one does not really have a vocation.

No one but the Lord knows if a vocation is real. My calling to the Phils, however, is genuine. Why they can't can't use an old man with a fastball probably still in the teens, I'll never know.

I haven't read anyone calling for (sinkspur's) banishment.

No, but a person will only take so much criticism before ignoring it altogether.

BTW, what do you think about Sinkspure violating Canon Law? As a sinkspur-supporting pew denizen, tell me how that is justified. Thanks.

I sometimes agree with sinkspur, and sometimes disagree. But I do think he reflects a large percentage of people in the pew. It would be a disservice to silence any voice not reflective of my own. In the university of all ideas, the truth will necessarily stand out, and the truth will have more impact if every idea has had its say.

The Lord does NOT call one to a vocation if that vocation has requirements the one called refuses to accept. Good Lord. Is that so difficult to understand?

You never did answer about sink violating canon law and breaking promises he made. I guess that means it is ok with you?

Some of you pew denizens worry me :)

Eh, speed is so over-rated. It's what kinda stuff ya got that counts. When ya can strike a guy out by makin' him swing cause he's tired of waitin' fer the ball ta get to him, why, then ya got sumthin'!
