[John Leland 1789]

“I am not ‘looking for ways to claim hatred against’ me. Rather, that hatred is parading itself on this thread in proud display.

“I am not ‘playing the victim card.’ Hatred of Catholics and the Catholic Church is not a game, it is not a pleasant dalliance to kill time before pottery class or a sport with score-keeping...there is no playing involved in any of this.”

Well, then, do you feel threatened? Do you feel like anyone on these threads is preparing to seek out Catholic churches and spray paint graffiti on them, or attack your priests, and knock over your statues? Or try to block entrance to the churches?

Are these the only kinds of threats you can imagine? You're talking about brick and mortar.

What about the threat--the direct, ongoing, palpable threat--to TRUTH that these lies about the Catholic Church represent?

Somebody pulled the statue in front of my St. Mary parish over, presumably with their vehicle and a rope, breaking it into several pieces. Probably it was no one on these threads, but I can easily recognize the mindset, yes.

Yes, folks who post :And this in the face of the fact that worldwide there are people who are demon-possessed, worshippers of unclean things still standing at the front of altars controlled by the “SEE”, opening their mouths and having something called “His Body” put in their mouths every Sunday morning

I wonder who posted that? Wait, that was YOU.
