So, given my Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ, I am then forced to apply my own Reformed beliefs. Those would be that God ORDAINED that Catholics BE Catholics! :) No matter how vociferous my disagreement with their theology is I don't know how to avoid this fact. Hah! Those Calvinist handcuffs go on so easily ... one "click", and you're caught in the paradox of your own theology! (Cue sinister black-robed inquisitor cackling demonically ... ) :-)
Seriously, thanks to you and AG for a ray of light amidst the darkness.
