The Catholic Church is Pro-Word AND Pro-Tradition, and Pro-Magisterium. The Bible was given to the world by the Holy Spirit, through the Catholic Church. Nothing in Catholicism contradicts the Bible, AND nothing in the Bible contradicts the Catholic Church. You don’t have to like or agree with it, mind you, but that is a true statement.

Just as a by-the-way, did you read the original article? The intention of the article is fairly obviously for his non-Catholic readers, by way of responding to a number of comments he’s had. No “victim mentality” needed. If you, as a writer on a subject, receive a fair amount of mail, or email, or comments, similar to one another, regardless of the subject at hand, would you not wish to try to clarify, or expound on the subject, or, using whatever euphemism seems to best fit, comment in return?

Let’s say, by way of example, that, on a forum elsewhere, I continually speak my mind on a given subject. Doesn’t matter what the subject is. It could be my love of Les Pauls. Or whatever. And I get a lot of flack about that. Or a number of comments that seem to indicate some general misunderstandings about why I care so greatly about Les Pauls. My response to that with my speaking in return doesn’t mean that I’ve adopted a victim mentality. It means that I am exercising my free speech, one human being to others that visit my spot on the web. It also doesn’t meet standard lib-type requirements, since, the subject is politics, and it isn’t in this case. The author of this piece explains his point of view within it, in response to either emails or comments from readers. And, just curious here, specifically how are you now going to prove, to me, here and now, that the Catholic Church is, as you tried to put it, “anti-Word?” Use documented, historical facts.

I read that one sentence only for that is enough. Being Pro-Word is the absence of tradition and man. Can't serve two masters.
