LOL.
Cute.
Clever reply.
. . . in spots . . .
Would it help if I cut back on the chocolate?
Look I'm still dealing with Dominic coming back from the dead to lead the Inquisition. I can't be expected to be brilliant in ALL my posts.
You guys don't READ de Montfort, you go fishing (or cherry-picking) in him, if you touch him at all. The guy is a delightful madman. I really enjoy reading him. I could wish that he had thought that one day Protestants would be looking over his shoulder and enjoying attacks of the vapors every time he gets outrageous, but I've come to see that the openly professed MO is to attack some Dogma until it is explained and then to attack some hypothetical Catholics and to claim to know what is in their hearts and then to blame the deviations of those Catholics from Orthodoxy on the Church while disclaiming all responsibility for the multiplicity of deviations within the non-Catholic sphere.
This is not about debate. This is not about truth. This is most certainly not about reason or charity. It is about attacking.
Let ME engage in some mind-reading here. I suspect that de Montfort doesn't give a hoot what contentious Protestants think of his works. He wasn't writing for them anyway. And he, being wiser than I, gave up long ago trying to present the truth to a group which didn't care about it, but cared only about attacking.
Me I'm going to go pray to the Gentile Lady, just as soon as I figure out who she is supposed to be.
Is that prose or poetry? What grade would you expect to receive for that response.
