...- often evident
I presume it is sarcasm, but I don't think it is warranted.
First, especially as Catholics we know what love means. It has nothing to do with being nice, but everything to do with wanting the best for fellow man, and so, primarily, wanting his salvation. It is entirely possible, in fact it is incumbent on a loving person to be contentious, harsh, and unyielding. Rogers and I exchanged many heated arguments but never did I suspect that he is arguing for any other reason than to correct what he sees as error in me and others like me. I wish he saw the light, but I cannot fault him for arguing what he believes to be the truth.
Second, he is a pleasure to argue with. He is polite, level headed and clear, and he makes his arguments logically and thouroughly. I wsh there were more Protestants arguing with us on such serious level.
“I presume it is sarcasm,...”
You've read my mind unsuccessfully.
There was not a drop of sarcasm intended.
In my own opinion, Mr. Rogers is one of the most charitable posters on Free Republic. That he tries very hard to love each poster here is evident in his posts.
