TC for short? Gotta have a short version.

Just, God forbid, don't ever, EVER, call some Catholics the RCC or RC short version...they go quite apoplectic when one does. Some don't even KNOW it's an abbreviation! ;O)

I know. I know.

And froth at the mouth and fingers . . . writhe in agony on the floor screaming, wailing and whining as though they were mortally wounded that we’d used the wrong label or didn’t kowow the required 100 times or maybe that we didn’t kiss the soles of their feet enough or maybe that we didn’t submitt to their !!!!CONTROL!!!! sufficiently . . .

the list of heretical impossible demands is endless. About the time one thinks one’s at least SEEN the end of it, they invent dozens more items for the list.

ENOUGH ALREADY YET. WHAT AN OUTRAGE.

Takes me a long time to get outraged—more than 10 years in this case . . . however, it does happen on occasion.

I introduced a new acronym: CAWTRB (Church associated with the Roman Bishop).

Doesn't exactly roll of the tongue. Perhaps we should have a thread dedicated to finding an acronym that is easy to remember and soothe our delicate FRiends feelings.
