YOU don’t count!
We already knew that you would find it, your “mother of all Catholic bashers” status doesn’t kick in until you make a disparaging comment.
Just because people disagree with some of the dogma of the Catholic Church does not make them anti-Catholic, but just non-Catholic. I don’t accept extra-Bilbical dogmas created by any church. If Immaculate Conception of Mary or Mary’s Assumption into heaven were essential beliefs, they would have been included in the Bible and not added to the official dogma in the 1850’s. I don’t understand how core beliefs can be a moving target.
Dunno. Alex seems remarkably tame compared to many that grace these threads. I think it’s the tightrope walk he likes. Span.. never mind.
