I do dispute it. I have never in my life called anyone that, nor have I ever heard anyone call you that, nor have I seen anyone here on FR call you that, except for the remark by Mr Rogers, and I don’t intend to say that he called you that maliciously either.
But before you post, read it twice and make sure it says what you think it says. I never thought you did; I never said you did.
No, neither you nor Mr. Rogers have ever said this thing, but others HAVE said things far worse. And the slurs against Catholics pale when compared to what is said about Jews who don't condemn Pope Piux XII.
nevertheless they don't actually call us "feelthy Papists," at least not to our faces, though they find many other terms and ways to express contempt and hostility.
You say you dispute my statement. My statement has two parts:
(1)They don't actually call us they don't actually call us "feelthy Papists," at least not to our faces,
If you dispute THAT, then you claim that you DO actually call us "Feelthy papists. (But you just said you never have done so.)
(2) they find many other terms and ways to express contempt and hostility.
If you dispute part 2, then you claim that 'they' do NOT find many other ways to express contempt and hostility.
Now in your last to me, you said I have never in my life called anyone that...
So you do not dispute part 1. You agree with part 1 How am I doing so far?
So you must dispute part 2. Well, I made my argument and agreeing with me on one part of the statement does not show why you dispute the statement.
Am I allowed to suspect rope-a-dope at this point?
Oh, just look for some of the early posts on this thread, you know, about the first thousand. I’m pretty sure you’ll find a few somewhere...something about old men in fancy dresses comes to mind...
Mad Dawg uses “feelthy papist” as a joke, calls himself that, and I think it’s hilarious, because of some of the things people accuse us Catholics of doing, ie idolatry, twisting scripture, using “rubber dictionaries,” etc.
Honestly, isn’t this all too silly for words? I am saving this thread for a really great laugh someday. How many times have we been accused of kissing old men’s rings, bowing to statues? Is that exactly name-calling? Romanist is not very nice, is it? Papist?
Christians! The key is, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy mind and with all thy soul; and the second is like unto it: thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
Can’t we make love, not war? Do we HAVE to fight?
Love me! I’m adorable!
Even though I’m Catholic, I’m a really cute, nice, CHRISTIAN.
