The exact words of the Catechism of the Catholic Church include the footnote numbers (at the least).

There's no rule that says anyone MUST post the footnote numbers. No one complained when I excerpted from the WCF without footnote numbers.

Or are you now demanding this, too?

FYI, in the future I may choose to post from the RCC catechism without the footnotes. Be advised all references will be originating from the vatican.va website.

I didn't say anything about any rules. I refuted your false claim that you posted the exact words of the Catechism.

Again with the allergy to capitalizing proper nouns related to Catholicism.

Strength to you, sister.

It seems the nits are in season... All the more for the picking...

:D

For the record, I find no problem believing your words, and the personal assaults against your honor are unbecoming and uncharitable.

Furthermore, it is simply absurd to suggest alteration simply for removing footnotes- If the quotation is true to the spirit of the document, that is the point. That one may check the context is the reason for the attribution.

That the attribution was incorrect is an understandable mistake, one that I, and your accusers, have undoubtedly made. That mistake, being admitted, and corrected, should suffice, and it embarrasses me that FReepers would treat you so poorly in that regard.

My sincere apologies for that which you have been made to endure.

Ridiculous.
