RM — now in this post, pnsm has made a false allegation. If my earlier statements likening metmom’s group to Mormons was pulled, then this too ought to be pulled.

Cronos, WHERE is my false accusation?

“It is error to believe that, if the Pope were a reprobate and an evil man and consequently a member of the devil, he has no power over the faithful.” Council of Constance, Condemnation of Errors, against Wycliffe, Session VIII, and Hus: Session XV; DNZ:621, 617, 588)

“Even if the Pope were Satan incarnate, we ought not to raise up our heads against him, but calmly lie down to rest on his bosom.” St. Catherine of Siena, SCS, p. 201-202, p. 222, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by sedevacantist Michael Malone, Book 5:

“The Book of Obedience”, Chapter 1: “There is No Salvation Without Personal Submission to the Pope”)

Accusing another group of believers of being Satanic, a cult, anathema, apostate, demonic, etc. is "normal" in religious debate because when one belief branches from another, both condemn the other with such terms.

Even in the Bible Jesus and the Pharisees accused each other of being Satanic.

Your posts, on the other hand, obviously and falsely attributed beliefs to metmom's group, e.g. Kolob which is associated with Mormonism. That would be comparable to someone accusing your group of believing in Xenu which is associated with Scientology.

If that finessing of the Religion Forum guidelines were permitted then we'd have chaos and never-ending flame wars with posters making obviously false, inflammatory claims.

Why didn’t you let me know that you were talking about me?

I didn’t see my name in the courtesy ping but did in the post.

Don't hold your breath. Catholics and Catholicism are held to a different standard. It is impossible to believe or expect that any moderator can completely insulate their subjective decision responsibilities from their own prejudices.
