I ignored nothing. Your post made no new claims, and therefore was unremarkable. You claimed the joint activities of the Catholic and Mormon Churches on social issues was unprecedented:
“1. They haven’t done it in the past”
I very accurately showed how your foregoing factual assertion was erroneous and was a flawed fundamental premise to your posting. I’m sorry if you consider informing a poster that a factual assertion he made was wrong is antagonistic. I just consider it advising the poster that he was wrong, as you were.
The Mormon and Catholic Churches have a long-standing relationship of ecumenicalism. I’m sorry being made aware of that fact bursts your bubble as a Catholic. Perhaps if you are upset with the long-standing ecumenical relationship between the Catholic and Mormon Churches, you should express your angst to your ecclesiastical leaders.
For your edification since you appear to be either uninformed or ill-informed, the Salt Lake Tribune has no affiliation with the Mormon Church and has a long-standing history of antagonism in its articles dealing with the Mormon Church. Does that take away the angle that the article wasn’t trustworthy because it wasn’t written by a Mormon publication?
You’re probably right. You weren’t presumptuous. You were just uninformed. Now that you’ve been informed, are you okay with the Mormon Church giving millions of dollars to Catholic charities as part of its ecumenical relationship with the Catholic Church on social issues? Or do you consider it offensive that a “cult” would work jointly with the Catholic Church on social issues by donating millions to its charities?
By the way, when can I expect your ecumenical thread?
“The Mormon and Catholic Churches have a long-standing

It is your continued language like this on an ecumenical
thread that leads me to ask (gently)... is it that time
of the month, Come Up Higher? Is this a hormonal thing?
There must be something happening in your life presently
that keeps you from the spirit of ecumenicalism and fills
your posts with such antagonism.
If you didn’t want to have conversations with those who
differed while foregoing antagonism, why did you post
an Ecumenical thread?
I wish you the absolute best in your life and hope it is
nothing overly serious.
best,
