"You are arguing hypotheticals, and I'm arguing reality."

No Deacon you are living in a fantasy land. The ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH is being prosecuted civilly and perhaps criminally for the way it violated US laws. One Diocese is BANKRUPT, others will be soon. Review the satanic Paul Shandley case and see how much that case alone cost the Universal Church.

No Deacon, you are so wrong it is unreal.

Now about your claims that I am engaged in a flame war here. Any retraction or explanation? You claim I am breaking the rules. Please be specific in your claims or withdraw them.

Ah, now you're changing the argument. We were discussing the internal canons of a Church, not any violation of US statutes.

The US government cannot, for instance, take the Catholic Church to court because it ordains celibate men to the priesthood. That is an internal Church regulation that the US government has absolutely no jurisdiction over.

I wonder why the Texas D-CON struggles so insidiously to shut down all conservative voices? Never mind. I really don't wonder. Do we ALL get his extremely weird and threatening emails? Every time I get one, (or read some of his posts) I want to spray Lysol in my eyes... just to be sure.
