Posters who are easily offended must stay away from the "open" threads and instead post on the "ecumenical" "caucus" "prayer" or "devotional" threads.
In this case, it would have been appropriate to respond that the allegation made is false and provide the supporting information.
It is not however appropriate or tolerable to attack the other poster personally and for that reason your post will be removed.
That is precisely what I did. There was no attack on anyone; if anything, the response was to a personal attack on the Vicar of Christ. As you well know, I respect the Religion Forum guidelines in all my postings. How unfortunate that the same is not true for other posters. Their messages of screed, filled with vitriol against the pope and the Catholic Church, are allowed to remain.
