"I was being sarcastic, one who does not see, or denies the romantic sensibilities of man has from my perspective given up on reality , the reality of what humans really are. I advise you to read Chesterton."

Then you're also being foolish. I haven't at all "denied the romantic sensibilities of man". What I said was that those "romantic sensibilities" are NOT the core of Catholicism--they are ancillary frills around the edges. The CORE of Cathoicism are the dogmas, which are mysteries revealed by Christ and the Apostles, and RATIONAL conclusions derived by REASON from those revealed dogmas (one prime example being the Trinity).

I've read Chesterton (also Belloc, and Thomas Merton).

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
