What reason would you have to be unable to post RCC if you already can post RC?

Sigh.

Once more, with feeling . . .

a one and a two . . . [cue bubble machine]

1. The RC edifice construction on reality is that "The Roman Catholic Church" = Christ's Church Universal.

2. That is utterly 100% UNBiblical and utterly 100% intolerable to just wink at and pass on by, to me.

I cannot and will not, with a clear conscience, use the term the RC's demand that I use when referring to their edifice on that score.

imho, folks that find my substitute term (chosen with a great deal of care and caring)-- intolerable in civil discourse need to grow a thicker skin and probably simply to grow up. They COULD have noted REPEATED uses of the term for ALL DENOMINATIONS AND RELGIOUS HIERARCHIES. I've not exactly reserved it only and totally for the RC edifice--by a wide margin.

An edifice is also a human institution, to me . . . an organized, structured, hierarchical human institution. All congregations, denominations, PARTIUCLARLY RELIGIOUS CLUBS fit under that umbrella. It's just a fact, to me. Hence, it's a very generic, useful term with a wide range of meanings and applications, to me. THE CONTEXT in the paragraph and the thread is somewhat critical.

On this thread, I had not loaded it up with any load of negative baggage, per se. Thanks to RC's we can now assume that others HAVE so loaded it up, on this thread. I had not.
