"I thought you were kidding. But that's what that RC website said..."

1 )There is only one "RC" website, it is www.vatican.va.

2) I have told you numerous times that the term "RC" is offensive to Catholics, particularly those of Scottish and Irish ancestry because it was a term used by the British to demean and denigrate the Irish because, when spoken by them it is pronounced as "arse". Yet you continue to use it but have no problem mashing the abuse button at the use of the similar term O'P_ C_ _ r. How typically hypocritical. (By the way, there are still places in Ireland that using that term on a Catholic will get you a broken nose regardless of your gender so use it cautiously and at your own risk)

3) Projecting your poor English skills into the statements of the Church is a revelation of your ignorance. The true meaning of "Co-Redemptrix" does not make Mary equal to Jesus. However, the ignorance of the people at large in the language of the Church makes it easy for the ignorant to fool people into the wrong belief. It is for this reason that that the Pope has not proclaimed the title of Co-Redemptrix" as dogma. It was only descriptive.

Welllllllllll! Harumph!

I think it’s extremely unreasonable for any Papist

to think that Prottys must be fluent

in the language of obfuscation, slippery diplo-theo-speak, rubbery daffynitions, boiled okratized rationalizations 12 layers thick, double-speak, double-standards out of both sides of the theological bureaucrats power mongering fingers and mouths, . . .

I mean . . . don’t Papists go to universities and tutleges for long years to learn how to split such hairs, mangle such meanings and generally trash straight-forward honest communication?

I realize some RCs believe Mary to be the equal if not the superior of Christ, since they give to her the titles and office which belong to Christ alone, and it’s always helpful to get evidence of that fact.

“RC” is just an abbreviation, just like “OPC” is.

If it’s acceptable to use abbreviations for Protestant Churches, it’s acceptable to use them for Catholic churches.

Don’t be hypocritical and grow a thicker skin.
