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.
Yes, indeed. And I am sick and tired of going to read an article about the Catholic Church, only to find the comment thread despoiled by the same unmerry band of anti-Catholic bigots who go around polluting any article pertaining to Catholicism they can find. There are many interesting articles posted here, and I would like to be able to read them in peace, but that is apparently impossible if the subject is Catholicism.
