No hyperbole or shock value there, of course.

The actual quote was "edit for shock value."

But I bet you knew that.

I don't mind my posts being seen as "shocking." The errors of the RCC are massively shocking and do far more damage than anything I might inflict on the magisterium's confusion.

You'll note also, for the sake of the truthfulness of your comments, that I was speaking of the immorality of the clergy. I never once made that assessment of the congregation.

But you probably knew that, too. And yet you still chose to misquote me...again.

Alright!! A mind reader!! I'm impressed.

Ahhhhh...so I chose to misquote you. IOW, I did it deliberately. Oh dear. Then allow me to correct my errors and rephrase the question. We wouldn't want a misquotation to allow you to wiggle out of giving an answer by changing the subject, would we?

Let's see if I can get it right this time.

It is your position that the ranks of the Catholic Church's clergy is "literally filled" (care to throw out a percentage value, Doc?) with sexual deviants .....and the Church is engaged in teaching fables which are (allow me to add one more quote) "massively shocking".

Did I miss anything?

You'd surely agree that such a horrific institution would never be blessed with Divine grace, yes? Which would suggest its condition was terminal, right?
