Excellent.
Thank you.
To you and to all, I think I’m going to read a couple of books this afternoon. I spent all morning at the hospital, and I’m exhausted.
But here’s something to think about:
How many times are the anti-Catholic bigots going to ask me why I have a problem with Paul, after I have explained it more than once?
How many times are the anti-Catholic bigots going to bring up the old falsehood about Catholics worshiping Mary, even after they’ve been told probably hundreds of times Catholics do not?
How many times are the anti-Catholic bigots going to demand that Catholics justify every little thing? No Catholic is obliged to be at the beck and call of those who think Catholics are probably not Christian.
How many times are the anti-Catholic bigots going to act as though their own personal interpretation of scripture, no matter how much they disagree among themselves, is far superior to any way that a Catholic interprets it? Are they all their own Pope? Evidently.
How many times are anti-Catholic bigots going to instruct us as if we were their wayward children? That right there is a patronizing load of fertilizer.
How many times are anti-Catholic bigots going to make MY opinion of St. Paul into ALL CATHOLICS’ opinion of St. Paul?
How amny times are anti-Catholic bigots going to insist that Catholics denigrate St. Paul, when as far as I know, it is only me?
How long is it going to take someone to look up the authorship of Ephesians and learn that there is some question over it?
Answers: a million, a million, a million, a million, a million, a million, a million, a million, and forever.
Just my opinion.
