No, it isn't. Catholicism and Catholics are clearly identified on the thread. Any other confession hides, like cowards, from identification because if they came out and said it, their own flaws would be exposed. You (plural)claim "badgering" because you (plural) KNOW that your church is deeply flawed and you don't what it's filth exposed.
The RM was the one to call this continual asking for personal information *badgering*.
Take up the complaint of the use of the word with him.
The Protestant Christians on this forum have made it clear that their point of authority is the Word of God and our identification is with Christ.
We are hiding nothing because everything we believe can be found in the Bible. All you have to do is read it.
3For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. 4When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.
6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13God judges those outside. "Purge the evil person from among you."
Here is the clear command of Paul in the Bible on how to deal with sexual immorality within the church.
Why has the Catholic church not done so? Why have they been disobedient for so long for so much of it's history in following God's clear, plainly stated commands concerning this issue?
Do you consider this the ravings of a mentally unbalanced, contradictory kook? Was he wrong about how to deal with sexual immorality within the church?
Is the Catholic church right for not following these directives, or is it wrong?
. . . “. . . you don’t what it’s filth exposed.”

ATTRIBUTING MOTIVES
AGAIN!?
So, how many minutes or words worth would you wail about such a thing if the shoe were on the other foot?
Ain’t ecclesiastical prissy haughtiness grand! Few do it better than RC’s though Episcopalians in some quarters try hard. But then, they didn’t have the industrial strength make-up some Pentecostals were known for either.
I haven’t read enough to know yet . . . is gross hypocrisy part of Parochial school training or buried in the Catechism somewhere as a RELIGIOUS DUTY to the Vatican Alice In Wonderland School Of Theology And Reality Mangling INSTITUTION?
