Well said.
Heh. I’m a #3 also. :D
The, ahem, Dominican (but who's counting ...) Pope Saint Pius V ...
“Unfortunately, with the credibility issue, I’m only left with the real possibility that this thread is designed as some kind of coup for the RC side in the ongoing RC/Prot discussion.”
That’s absurd. Are you really thinking that there is a coordinated cabal of Catholics designing strategies on a BBS website that we read when, in my case, I rest between tasks and running around?
A coup? Do you seriously believe this?
As I thought, the whole thread is a Catholic conspiracy! Be honest, did the Jesuits put you up to this? This ranks right up there with other conspiracy threads about Peter never went to Rome, Simon Magus and the Pseudo-Isidorean Decretals.
Oh yeah, Welcome Home!
Perhaps I should start a thread (caucus, of course) to form one.....:D
doc eck speaks for all Protestants. He knows everything about all the various groups, the unitarians, the Jehovah’s witnesses, the Lutheran, the Angicans, the Prebyterians, the Church of Moon, the Mormons, etc. etc all the non-Catholic groups who seem to distinguish themsevels by saying they are not Catholic. they have nothign in common but their hatred of The Church
(Hint: NOWHERE!)
What he in fact says is that he is THINKING, or PLANNING to convert. That would be a discussion of some act in the FUTURE at the time of writing.
The title of the thread, for those whom the scent of blood has momentarily blinded, includes:
"I'm joining the Catholic Church next month",Let's gather our wits a second. I know that when Catholics aren't being so incredibly dumb that they cannot string two words together to make a mumble, then they are wily beyond earthly reckoning, but I think we just might consider that US7 is being fetchingly and disarmingly candid. It might be that he is not yet infected with the filthy Jesuitickle disease and means and has meant pretty much what he has written: to wit: that he has been thinking about joining the Church for a while, and that he has made up his mind and is asking for some advice for the next few steps of his pilgrimage.(Emphasis added for obnoxiousness.)
I recognize that this far-fetched conjecture would require our Protestant friends to attribute to someone who disagrees with them ingenuousness, simplicity, and candor. I can see how hard this might be to imagine, how unlikely a stipulation it is to entertain. So I say again that he has not yet joined and so still may maintain a few shreds of decency, threads which will of course be wrenched from him entirely when his conversion is complete and he falls, ensnared into the lethal embraces of the Whore of Babylon.
Well! THAT was exhilarating.
"Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts."
Please put me on your Vast Catholic Wing conspiracy ping list. ;-)
If you read my post again, I said that the existence of US7 RC pings back to 2005 and the lack of Prot pings at all raises reasonable doubts. It does. No denying it.
I’m mentally composing it at this very moment....
:D
Actually, better than that, to keep away vampires, always carry a set of keys around with you — I’ve always carried keys with me and I’ve never been attacked by vampires. Now, THAT’s a fact
Sadly, it cannot be read again. Perhaps it could be reworded?
Ah, Constantine was, according to Xenia a Pontiff of the Church. So too was Snoopy and Big Bird according to.. So, if you keep repeating the same things over the over again, some people believe that constitutes the truth, so if you bash’em, you cash ‘em.
This is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time and I give you Kudos for answering it with grace. I may have just pointed and laughed.

Ya know, come to think about it, I’ve never had a vampire anywhere near me.
I think you’ve got something with the key thing....
