This sort of self-delusion (I'm better than Catholics because...) is very difficult to admit to, especially when one has a tagline about the purity of their religious system...

Didn't even have the courtesy to include me while making sly remarks about my tagline? My tagline is a fact, not my opinion. It is a fact because our divine liturgy was implemented by and reflects the same faith the Church had when it canonized the Bible. If you don't think the Church had pure faith in those days, that is your prerogative, but if you accept the Bible on the authority of that Church then you are contradicting yourself.

Let me just say that I think many of you can only wish to have a 1,700 year old unbroken liturgical tradition and the faith of the Church that canonized the Bible because then none of your circus I have been showing you (and there are much worse examples that I will never show) would have never allowed it, and your sheepish laity would have never followed.

Religious pride is indeed a dangerous thing...

Sorry that I have offended you. I hope you can find it in your heart to forive me - although you seem to enjoy rubbing our faces in the fact that there have been liturgical abuses in the West. I can assure you I had nothing to do with that, so why must you keep showing us that?

Regards
