“Either way, you’ve played this card far longer than any kind of virtue would permit.”
Virtue????????????????? Oh please! Get over yourself.
“Furthermore, as I don’t normally carry a priest,...”
Do you know any priest who will give you the time of day, pt? If so, ask him.
“That statement is as asinine as protestants directing us to other scriptures to “understand” Matthew 16:18. Jude 11 gives us the Holy Spirit’s authentication that the sin of Korah was gainsaying Moses.”
And? That’s pretty much obvious, isn’t it, pt? Did you need the HS to explain that one to you? That’s what the Fathers say it means. But they, either of the East or the West, never said anything as profoundly ridiculous as that it refers to the Pope of Rome.
“Or do you suppose I should draw inferences from the Fathers on writings tangential to Jude 11 instead of what The Holy Spirit concludes explicitly?”
Yes, well, you still don’t know what the Fathers say, do you, pt! What a sorry comment on the catechesis of the Latin Church your performance is. Given your propensity for one off, personal interpretations of scripture, you wouldn’t be a convert from protestantism or even a catechumen would you?
BTW, pt, do you read Jude 11 to mean that all who do not submit (I love to use that word with the Pope)to the Pope of Rome are cursed and will surely come to a bad end? Do you really believe that, pt? Please tell me yes so we can all have a good laugh at your expense. I’ll even ping the orthodox list if you’d like! :)
Oh, I could have phrased it differently, but that term does convey my opinion you've crossed over from simple vanity to wanton conceit.
But they, either of the East or the West, never said anything as profoundly ridiculous as that it refers to the Pope of Rome.
But neither did they deny it, did they? Otherwise, you would have produced it by now. Glass houses, indeed! :P

Yes.
I case you haven't noticed, your scorn means little to me beyond the fascination of watching a small child breath threats of retribution.
Of course I should add the caveat that the genuinely ignorant can't be judged by the same standard as the willfully disbelieving, per the standard laid down in Romans 1.
