The post could be correctly read either way. It wasn’t a false accusation, until the author clarified it.

Not really. It could have been worded better, but if someone had bothered to read it carefully, the plain meaning would have been understood.

But nobody even thought to ask for a clarification. They just took off with it and ran with it, backslapping and high fiving each other over it as if it were written in stone, not to mention that they then proceeded to paint ALL Protestants with the the same broad brush.

And to top it off, close to a hundred posts were made clarifying Quix's (and others) position and only ONE Catholic even took his side. The rest of the RC crowd fell silent and dropped the issue without the least acknowledgment that they were wrong, not only in their interpretation but in their negligence for not making sure of the truth of what they were broadcasting BEFORE spreading the lie.
