I don’t read hysteria.

It’s too much like work and I’ve retired.

Tell you what. If you want to go around in this world calling yourself a Catholic, that is fine by me. You have every right in this world to do so and, frankly, I don't care.

Having said that, if you do so, 99.9999999% of the people in this world will assume that you are a beat counting, mackerel snapping, cookie worshiper.

Is that the label you wish to identify yourself with?

Furthermore, I think my fellow Catholics and I should start treating you just like a Catholic. In other words, if you don't tow the line on Doctrine, we'll have to start nailing you on it and quoting paragraphs from the CCC or LG or DS or DZ, since you want to be a Catholic so darned badly.

In fact, would you like me to personally ping you to each and every Catholic Caucus thread that I start from now on? Since you're complaining about not being included and all.

Maybe you could FReepmail the folks who maintain the Catholic ping lists so that they could add you to their pings, as well.

Or, alternatively, are you just moaning because somebody has some sort of made up complaint that they can use and it gives you a good opportunity to pile on?

Re: "...nonoffensive"

Did you actually read my post 165?

I said: From my point of view, there is no term other than "Catholic" with which the Catholics on the forum may call ourselves that is concise, accurate, and nonoffensive.

I don't want to use a term that I find offensive to describe MYSELF - and I don't expect you to use terms that you find offensive to describe YOURSELF.

That's just common sense, and on that point, at least, theology doesn't play into it.
