"What was his graduate degree in and how many theology courses did he take?"

That's not insistence. Asking it several times would be insistence. Asking it once is, well, asking it once.

If his degree was in engineering and he took one course on the OT and another on the Epistles of Paul, then he's no more qualified than anyone to speak authoritatively on what the sacrament of penance is or on the distinction between the penance assigned in confession and the whole sacrament.

If there is going to be claim made on the basis of education, let's hear about the education. I'm perfectly content to argue the case on its merits, but if somebody wants to make it ad hominem, why then let's see the hominem ad quem.

She brought up the education. If SHE brings it up, SHE can be questioned on it. If some reluctance or shame leads her not to want to develop it further, that's fine.

I have only asked once. I say again: To call that insistence is nonsense.

Say what you will. I will not waste my time on this.

PS, my son had a Jesuit HIGH SCHOOL education, for heaven’s sake. It was excellent, but it wasn’t advanced theology.

My father had a Jesuit Masters Degree education. Again, NOT theology, pre-law.
