Post 765 was removed because it was "making it personal." The post to which it was a reply was not personal.

You explain to me how I was making it "personal" when all I did was ask him not to attribute to Catholics that we put the Pope on equal footing as God. I told him it was insulting to us and it is.

Please explain to me how when a poster tells us that we worship the Pope as a "God" how that isn't an insult or making it personal or reading our minds which ISN'T ALLOWED BY YOUR OWN RULES.

Please tell me how when a woman calls all Catholics devils that is not personal.

When you tell another poster to have the "good graces not to" this or that - it is "making it personal."

There's a little bit of a double standard going on here. I'm about to withdraw all of my financial support to an organization that would allow such insults towards Catholics to stand. I can't in good faith or conscience support it.

Blundering in where angels fear to tread here . . .

We each have to be stewards before God of all our time and resources.

But I hope you reconsider. ALL BELIEVING CATEGORIES HEREON have posters which are ornery sometimes to the max. No organization, congregation is represented only by benign, gracious saints, hereon.

Roman believers as well as any other label of believers hereon have dished it out as well as they've taken it. Pretending otherwise, it not very consistent with reality hereon, to me.

The RM does a thankless volunteer job. He does far better than any other such in the years FR has been in existence. He is more fair; more responsibly diligent; more balanced; more anointed; more discerning; more gracious; more kind; more faithful to God in his manner and operations . . . than all the rest combined, imho. Certainly than any other individual in such a role. I personally don't think any of us could do any better.

Wearing chips on our shoulders is not helpful to dialogue nor to brotherhood. Being human and engaging in emotional dialogue about religious--even spiritual--issues--is going to be messy. Those seeking grace ought to extend it. And all of us need it.
