I think if we were willing to cast the sorts of aspersions on, say, speaking in tongues or on Scripture that some on your side cast on the Eucharist ...

If we invented and used terms like white hanky and magicsterial for important aspects of your belief system ...

If we persistently misrepresented what you hold dear ...

And especially if we ignored your arguments as some on your side ignore ours ...

You would see more rhetorical violence from the non-Catholics.

I know some on my side are aggressive. At this point there is too much blood on the ground for it to be too important to determine who started it.

The real question is who is going to try to stop it.

Plenty of good points.

However, I disagree about the Proddys THEN showing more “rhetorical violence” from the Proddy side.

It’s just not our . . . bent, custom, style.

INSTITUTIONS are OUTSIDE our thicker skins.

We are not usually attached at the umbillical cord.

In terms of who’s going to clean it up . . .

Just who, ‘I wonder’ . . . has stopped responding to all but two of the 3 reasonably mature and more realistic RC’s????

The ball is in y’all’s court!

I am quite skeptical about it being very cleanable.

The RM has repeatedly weighed in about thin skins on open threads and has been wholesale repeatedly and thoroughly ignored on that score.

The only rules many of the RC’s evidently are willing to play by are their own narrow, rigid, haughty, prissy ones.

God will clean each of us up in due time—particularly if we are truly submitted to Him and seeking HIS cleansing.

Otherwise, I don’t expect much change from most of these characters until after the net is no longer functioning and probably after that, if at all for many of them.

THAT IS FRIGHTFUL.

Sheesh.
