Well, I would have reminded the first poster that while officially correct, it is a common terminology and “Latin Catholics” is a more realistic term.

However,
>>[ There is no church called the RCC or Roman Catholic Church... ]
Really; I have always called the roman catholic church, the roman catholic church.. It is based in Rome at a separate country (Vatican) and “thinks” it is universal.. Voila roman catholic church.. To call the roman catholic church the Universal(catholic) Church is either dumb or arrogant.. The Universal CHurch would include the roman catholic chutch the EO and all reformed churchs.. One Pope made a slipshod attempt at doing that but failed.. You know, making the roman catholic church all inclusive.. with/by semantics.. but the roman catholic church remains a denomination nevertheless.. The old boy failed.. <<

Is like saying, “I’ve always called America, Amerika, so it’s right”

The word Satanist is wrong. So is the above post.

Context, context, context.

When one quotes without a reference i.e. a direct link which has been given here, one cannot see the big picture. If these were used against conservatives, we would all be screaming from the top of our lungs. Lifting words and reprinting them, is a MSM POV.

The two posts were "exhibit A" for why the "respectful dialog" experiment failed. That was the purpose of the thread. And it failed because posters could not agree on what "respectful" means.

The current trial run of "ecumenic" threads is another attempt at finding a set of guidelines that would work for a respectful dialog between opposing beliefs.

Again there are disputes over the language on my profile page - and repeated attempts by "anti" posters to finesse the guidelines, but this trial is doing better. If the experiment fails, the alternative is to open the guidelines for "caucus" threads so that posters can disparage other beliefs without any rebuttal at all.

If anyone is interested in discussing this, please go to this thread. I do not want to derail the discussion on this thread.
